GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318419
Gnumeric cannot detect some CSV files: Unsupported file format

Version details: 1.5.90 Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Breezy Forwarded from: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17431 If I open a CSV file with gnumeric using nautilus, gnumeric aborts with an error: "Unsupported file format". The same problem occurs if I use gnumeric's File => Open dialog and keep the File Type set to "Automatically detected". If I use gnumeric's File => Open dialog and manually change the File Type to CSV/TSV, the file opens fine. This only happens on some files - after a bit more testing, it only seems to happen on files with a long first line (80 chars or more). Will attach a sample CSV file. http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=4479 (Sample CSV file that gnumeric fails to open - first line is 80 chars long) I confirm this with version 1.5.90 on de_DE.UTF-8.
Fixed in cvs. Fix will be in 1.6.1.
