W8 RSAT Server Manager showing wrong capacity!?
Question
-
Hello!
I connect from my W8 workstation to Hyper-V Server 2012 remotely and apparently Server Manager shows the wrong capacity in Gibibyte (by factor 10), but the right one in Byte!?
Is this a bug? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, Cheers!
These snaps are from another W8 machine with RSAT connecting to a Windows Server 2012 Core server.
You can see how I came up with the properties dialogue (context menu).
Here you can see furthermore that other capacity views are also wrongly calculating.
All classical tools I tried list disk / volume / partition capacities correctly (diskpart.exe, diskmgmt.msc, dir).
I suspect this issue arises due to our corporate policy using ISO Standard formats on English (US) locale:

By switching to en-GB locale, I think I can confirm this to be an issue due to custom regional settings.
Where can I file a bug report?

Using Windows 8.1 to connect to a Windows 2012 R2 server, this issue doesn't appear anymore!
I should close this thread as "answered", but since there has never been any answer, e. g. by those who fixed this bug, I leave it open, hoping that anybody responsible reads it and in future we'll get proper answers! Like this hypothetical answer:
"Hi! We checked the source code and indeed there was a bug. It will be addressed by one of the next Windows Updates."
I think this hypothetical answer, including checking the source, would have cost a quarter developer-hour the maximum!
