Conversion from text to number does not work on GH for mac (duplicate ?)

This is (is it ?) a duplicate of Data conversion failed from text to number
However, it is not clear in my understanding if https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-37203 will solve this issue.

Sequence :

  • load “Penta.gh”, a grasshopper document for generating pentagram tiling

Problem :

  • the mac version does not succeed at conversion from text to Number

a workaround to get that working on Mac:

• right-click on the Angles panel
• choose Edit Notes
• click inside the panel to get a cursor
• cmmd-A (select all)
• cmmd-X (cut)
• cmmd-V (paste)
• press the OK button to end editing

it should work now.
that said, it’s now going to be wonky on a Windows install so if switching the .gh between versions, you’ll have to edit out an empty parameter which has been added during the Mac ‘fix’.

The workaround works around. uncanny ! thks.
