Description

### Apache Hop version?

2.9-GA

### Java version?

11

### Operating system

Windows

### What happened?

[crash_when_locale_or_timezone_not_set.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16664696/crash_when_locale_or_timezone_not_set.zip)

When the timezone and region are not set in the Select step and the computers our consultants worked on had their region set to United Kingdom where the date format differs, despite setting a format mask and the text matching, Hop freezes.

I would have expected any misalignment to throw a row at the error handling, and Hop would not crash.
