incorrect handling of double separators in text import
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When importing text file, the dialog has an option "See two separators as one". This option is buggy: if it is checked, and the entries are separated by exactly two spaces (assuming your separator is a space), it actually merges them - as if they were not separated at all. If there are more than 2 spaces, everything is OK.
An unfortunate bug caused this feature to only work on an uneven number of separators. This has been fixed in CVS.
