When run in locale nb_NO.UTF-8, gnumeric behaves in this way.
When run in locale en_US.UTF-8, gnumeric behaves in the way reporter
expects.

This is because in Norwegian, 'comma' is a decimal separator. The
following example gives the desired result in Norwegian locale.

Gnumeric;Excel
Open Source;Closed

Gnumeric also has text import (configurable), where all parameters
regarding text file import can be controlled from a dialog.
