--- Comment #3 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> ---
@Jouni : if I have understood you correctly, you are expecting Base to deal
with line feed characters in your field names. I don't know of any database
program that allows that to happen (unless maybe Access does ?). The line feeds
for your column headers are purely for presentation / display purposes when the
sheet is opened in Calc.

At the moment, I fail to understand what the problem is, or why you think that
Base should support such line feed characters in its field names.

Did this, for example, work in previous versions of LibreOffice ? If so, then
at least we could confirm that this is a regression, but if not, then
theoretically an enhancement request. In the latter case, how should Base know
to ignore a line feed character in field name, and what would it substitute
that character with (space, underscore, hyphen, delete ?) but not in the data
corresponding to a tuple ?

Seems like a very non-trivial coding request to me for little benefit to the
user, especially when the workaround is simple, i.e. don't put line feeds in
your column headers if you want to then import that spreadsheet into Base.
