Bug Description

after upgrading to Calibre 8.10 I noticed that the upper limit for a book in a series has changed ... where as before I could use a number such as 50012 ... (which works when editing the metadata), when I try to convert to another format in my case txt -> epub. the value is dropped and the screen shows 9999.99 ... this did not occur previously. This is a behaviour change from previous versions of Calibre. I was able to do this before. Is there a place in the preferences where I can change the upper limit value ... I was not able to find it. Is this only on the Windows version of Calibre? for I currently use the Windows version.
