Summary: :
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice

File with lines of text containing tabs that do not parse correctly if the text
is selected from an editor and pasted into spreadshet
Problem description:
Taking several lines of text containing tabs,
if you paste the text into a sheet and then use "Text to Columns" the tab
characters are not recognized as tabs, but are recognized as spaces.
If you save the text as a .csv and open it, you get the usual parse dialog that
DOES recognize the tabs as tabs.
Steps to reproduce:
1. create lines of text containing tabs
2. Copy text and past into a cesll
3. Choose Text to Colmns
4. Observe that Tabs is checked and the data is not distributed into columns.
5. Check Spaces and observe that the text is distributed (incorrectly) into
columns
6. Save the text to a .csv file
7. Open the csv file with spreadshet and observe that the parse dialog
recognizes the tabs and handles them correctly
Current behavior:
text to columns (or the paste function itself) converts embedded tabs to spaces
preventing a correct parse to columns
Expected behavior:
In excel, pasting text containing tabs preserves the tabs and they parse
correctly into columns
Platform (if different from the browser):
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
