Bug#228117: spreadsheet csv import type conversion error

[Jim Watson <jim@amarooas.com.au>]

Eike,

it does not seem correct to me.

The source csv file contains data such as 1.8526

The user does not know about that data, they only know what they see
when it is imported.

The original problem remains that this data 1.8526 is imported and displayed
as a "date".

For example with "Italian" the csv import dialog displays standard column
"1.8526" but the imported spreadsheet stored value is "01.01.8526". If I
select that cell it displays Sum="01.01.8526".

The correct default (standard?) behaviour surely must be to import
and display the data exactly as it is stored in the csv source file?

I was not the reporter for this but I will make an IZ issue and put some
screenshots which will make it clearer.

thanks

jim
