Description Paul Smith 2006-11-04 00:12:14 UTC 
Suppose that you have a text file with 200 thousand lines and that you want to import the 50 thousand lines in the middle, say, between 100000 and 150000. Gnumeric does not allow you to import those lines, in spite of the fact that 50000 < 65535. Thus, I suggest to the developers to let the user to define whatever lines he/she wants to import, in case they are not more than 65535 lines.
