Can not use strings with more than 7 substitutions

Hello. After upgrade to the 1.0.3 localization version, I can no more use string like that:

Average speed: {0:0.##} km / h
Reverse speed: {1:0.##} km / h
Average fuel consumption: {2:0.##} l / km
Angular velocity: {3:0.##} ° / s
Fuel: {4: 0. ##} / {5:0.##} l
Total Fuel: {6:0.##}
Fuel power: {7:0.##} l
Armor:  {8:0.##}

When I try to use it from code, there are following error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

But with

Average speed: {0:0.##} km / h
Reverse speed: {1:0.##} km / h
Average fuel consumption: {2:0.##} l / km
Angular velocity: {3:0.##} ° / s
Fuel: {4:0.##} / {5:0.##} l
Total Fuel: {6:0.##}
Fuel power: {7:0.##} l

All works fine.
So I have to concatenate from two strings. It’s very strange, that somewhere inside 1.0.3 source code is introduced some hardcoded constant

2

I can’t see the difference between the 2 strings. Can you please file a bug report so we can look into it?

3

Difference is the last segment: “Armor: {8:0.##}”. I will fire a bug report today
