Created attachment 66497

screenshot after pasting

With me, it's not the decimal separator thing...

- I am using LibreOffice 3.6.0.2 on Kubuntu 12.04. (It seems to work fine on
Win)
- I am using a English US locale where the decimal separator is the period.
- when I copy these three numbers out of this text box:

2.09
2.40
2.12

  and paste them into Calc cells B2:B4 with the following settings

- Separated by tab
- Text delimiter = nothing
- Field/column type: Standard

  then they are pasted in but

- as you can see in the attachment calc1.png , when the field category is
changed to Text
- thus, the summing in the status bar upon highlighting does not work
- cell C5, which computes the average of B2:B4 says Div/0.

This is already annoying enough but if I then change the Category to "Number",
then

- the numbering stuff still doesn't work but
- the content of the cells B2:B4 is changed: now the numbers are in there with
a single quote preceding them, still rendering them text (see attachment
calc2.png).

(i) Why can't I just paste numbers into Calc and have them be recognized as
numbers or,
(ii) if Calc is dumb enough to treat them as text although I say Field
category: General, why can't I at least get them to work as numbers when I
format the cells as numbers and not have a stupid quote in there messing things
up?
