Bug#578767: openoffice.org-calc: "English" setting gets ignored when importing CSV files
Package: openoffice.org-calc
Version: 1:3.2.0-4
Severity: normal
This bug is also present at least in version 1:3.1.1-11~bpo50+1, but I'm
not sure how to set the "found" field in the first report, also I guess it
wouldn't help so much since the BTS doesn't know about backports.
OpenOffice used to have a very nice feature when importing csv files, it
allowed you to set that the format of a column was "US/English", and so, even
though in Spanish we write "1302,22", when setting the column to English,
it would automatically translate "1302.22" to the number above.
Since version 3.1 in backports, and now 3.2 in squeeze, this is no longer
the case. The "English" option is still there, but it changes no
behaviour, I've tried many different things but the numbers are always
interpreted as a string instead of a number.
I tried searching for this bug at the OOO site, with no luck. Apparently
it hasn't been reported there.
This is a serious regression. Please push for a fix. Thank you!
