--- Comment #2 from Andreas Säger <[email protected]> ---
OK. Then LibreOffice imports wrong numbers because date acceptance patterns
interfer with locale settings in text import options. However, I can delete the
date acceptance patterns and I can use English patterns. No matter what I do,
LO 4.4.3 fails to import French/German numbers with thousands separators.

I can confirm that the problem occurs with French(France) locale too,
interestingly under Windows and Linux.
Also interestingly, the "special numbers" option makes no difference when used
in French context.

Importing 1.234,98 from text file with German base locale and English date
acceptance pattern [D/;D/M;D/M/;D/M/Y]:

OS + Import Lang + Special_Number --> Result
----------------------------------------------------
Windows + French + SpeciaNum=1 --> Text
Windows + French + SpeciaNum=0 --> Text
Windows + German + SpeciaNum=0 --> Number
Windows + German + SpeciaNum=1 --> Text
Linux + French + SpeciaNum=0 --> Text
Linux + French + SpeciaNum=1 --> Text
Linux + German + SpeciaNum=0 --> Number
Linux + German + SpeciaNum=1 --> Number


Hundreds of support requests confirm that the whole text import is
incomprehensible and I think it is broken as well.
Revert to the clear and comprehensible behaviour of OpenOffice.org 2 but
eliminate any acceptance of D-M dates. Nobody is ever confronted with any csv
files where "1-2" or "1/2" is meant to be a date value. "1-2" or "1/2" is only
meant to be a date value when the string comes from a keyboard.
