Thousands separator not appearing in map label

[HeatherC137]

What is the bug or the crash?

The numbers I am using as labels in the map appear without a thousand separator despite doing several things.
#1: I have checked the box next to "Show group (thousand) separator in the the Settings>Options> General area and my user interface translation is American English and Locale is en_US. I restarted after making these changes.
#2: My numeric data is formatted with a comma....see attached.
#3: Just to make sure, I used number_format in the field calculator of the attribute table.

However, when I go to put this field as a label in my map it appears without a thousands separator....see attached.
