Hi!
When using the KOMAScript class (book or report) with an \appendix,
all chapter/section/etc. numbers get an extra dot appended which is
undesirable and inconsistent. However, this only happens after the
second latex run.
The following code shows a minimal example. If both the \appendix and
the \renewcommand (which does the relevant part of the \appendix
effect) are commented out, numbering is correct, i. e. looks like
1.1 First Section
If one of the commands is activated, the numbering looks like=20
1.1. First Section
(starting from the second latex run).
Do you know an easy quickfix for this? This is crucial for my friend's
diploma thesis...
Thanks,
Martin

You find it undesirable, but DUDEN requires it, and it is documented in
scrguide/scrguien:
,---- texdoc srcguien, p. 48f
| According to DUDEN, the numbering of sectional units should have no
| point at the end if only arabic numbers are used (see [DUD96, R
| 3]). On the other hand, if roman numerals or letters are used, then a
| point should appear at the end of the numbering (see [DUD96, R 4]).
|
| [...] other languagues may have different rules. Therefore it is
| possible to activate the use of the end point with the option
| pointednumbers or to deactivate it with pointlessnumbers. [...]
| Calling these options dottednumbers and dotlessnumbers or similar
| would be more correct. It so happened that the meaning of the chosen
| names was not clear to me a few years ago when the options were
| implemented.

LaTeX doesn't know in advance that there will be an appendix that uses
"A.", so it cannot do it "right" in the first run.
So this is a non-bug; simply use the class option pointlessnumbers.
