Bug ID: 466945 Summary: Automatic selection of decimal separator doesn't work for pasted data Classification: Applications Product: LabPlot2 Version: latest Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: frontend Assignee: alexander.se...@web.de Reporter: dirk.nieme...@siemens.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 157045 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=157045&action=edit Text for clipboard SUMMARY *** The automatic detection of the decimal separator doesn't work in my use cases. STEPS TO REPRODUCE With a clean installation (nightly build 126) without any changes to the configuration: 1. Open the attached file in a text editor (the data comes from copy & paste from a 3rd party tool. Mark the entire content, copy to clipboard. 2. Run Labplot, create a spreadsheet in Project. 3. CTRL-V the data into the table. OBSERVED RESULT The columns are detected as "Text". If you try to change the type of a col (or both) to "Float" the content is deleted: Changing back the type to "Text" doesn't bring back the values, they are truely deleted. Workaround: Settings / Configure Labplot - set Decimal separator manually to the one used in the clipboard (or file) content. In this case switch between formats "Text" and "Float" will not delete the rows. EXPECTED RESULT Automatic recognition of "." (dot) as decimal separator. No deletion of values when switching between (invalid?) formats.
