> should be handled differently than it is right now.

While importing a csv, there is no way to differentiate between (for instance)
a comma as thousand separator and the same character as field separator. At
most, if there is some additional character that can differentiate between the
2 cases (such as having a space character just before the comma between
fields), then the combination of those characters could be used in the
importing dialogue options.

Moreover, the thousand separator might not be displayed within the cells when
importing the data from the csv file. You might have a (numeric) value of
1,234.56 (with comma as thousand separator) in the csv, then being displayed
(at least initially) as 1234.56.

Lastly, as mentioned already, this report would at least need the details of
the options (ON and OFF) used in the import dialogue and the type of columns
assigned in it, in order for the report to be evaluated by others (and
potentially reproduced).

If such info is provided and the report is still relevant, then please feel
free to reopen the report as UNCONFIRMED again.
