I don't think we'll be able to get anywhere without evidence of the bug. Do you have a smartctl printout demonstrating the POH behaviour? A model number of the SSD that causes the bug would also be helpful.

Please be more specific and provide a sample output. Redirect smartctl output to a file and attach(!) the file to this ticket. Do NOT cut and paste from console or to a ticket comment.

Which locale is configured (e.g. output of locale command) ?

Smartctl NVMe attribute output uses localized digit grouping. Retry with a different locale (e.g. change environment variables LANG or LC_NUMERIC).

Think we should be downgrading this to minor or maybe even trivial priority. What's being described seems to be little more than a visual glitch (or not even that, some do prefer a space as their thousands separator).

It is very likely a locale issue:
For example with LANG=pl_PL.utf-8 or LANG=ru_RU.utf-8 (or same LC_NUMERIC=...), the thousands_sep string is "\xc2\xa0". This is U+00A0 (NBSP) which is printed as space.

Workaround for POSIX systems: Run smartctl with LANG=, LANG=C, LANG=POSIX, ...

PS: The ticket priority is negligible if milestone is still undecided.

This is likely a locale issue. No feedback from reporter.
