One way to import the text is to assume each line is made up of columns of a fixed width (same width on each line). There's UI That dialog persists (among other things) the widths of those columns, after you had set those widths earlier somehow. What Matias demonstrates is that sometimes, even though you see the persisted column markers - red dots or balloons - you actually don't see some of the lines separating the columns, in the preview; and when you perform the text import - that column separator is not respected, i.e. what had earlier been two columns, are now a single column. Yet it's not the case that _all_ column separators are ignored. In Matias' example - the first separator is ignored and the second is respected. Note also that, with the repeated import dialog, if you indicate a column separator where the "faux" indicator is located, it will be removed; and if you again indicate a separator there, it will be re-introduced and respected during actual import. Confirmed with Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0563d0e3581b5029cfe9476d5b5313d6322c5e08 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded I agree with the "minor" severity, since this can be overcome by explicitly re-marking the column separator. Matias, please check what happens when you have more than just two column separators: Is it always the first two columns that get fused? Is it some other pairs? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
