--- Comment #20 from Barry L. Kramer <[email protected]> ---
I agree it is important to not do anything unexpected.  And certainly the way
it is now without the quoting is good if someone wants it more human readable.
Others may want or need the multi-line cells always quoted (even if only one
cell is copied, such as an address like I'm using).

Perhaps this is an example of where it could be configurable with the default
setting giving the same behavior as now.  If something like a checkbox "Always
quote multi-line cells" was in Tools - Options - LibreOffice Calc -
Compatibility, then that could work? Maybe in a new section for
Interoperability?

Alternatively (see attached mock-up), a pull-down list "Copy cells externally"
{Default | Quote multi-line cells | Quote all copied cells"?

The latter would give user the choice of the current method, or the way Google
Sheets (and probably excel) do it, or a method where all data is quoted.

An additional checkbox (defaulted off) "Also apply to single cell copy" could
control the behavior to quote single multiline cells, so the copy gives
consistent results no matter how many or how few cells are copied.  Just some
ideas.
