So - legitimately, this is duplicate of 165744, and so my words that version was relevant were true, so your (In reply to Dodo Ivanecky from comment #20) > No, it's irrelevant.

Next, you wrote: (In reply to Dodo Ivanecky from comment #18) > But even better would be if it worked properly, because I actually like the > feature ;) So - you write, that *you like the feature of automatically detecting the field separators*. You therefore confirm that it's useful to you - showing that you may paste multicolumn data from different sources (which is the crucial thing: yes, Calc's Text Import dialog is designed to handle "structured text" coming in multiple flavors and from different sources, prepared in different locales, and so, with details unknown in advance). Please think about it once again. You paste some data today, from a source that *happens* to be prepared in your locale. Tomorrow, you copy a text from a website, created by an American, using different separators. And what you are asking is "use magic to tell one from the other". There is no magic. Please realize that, and live with that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
