Public bug reported:

Text-to-table conversion converts into a single line/row of cells.  This
isn't correct.  It should honor line breaks (or some arbitrary
separator) and place succeeding column cells in a new row.

There used to be an option in the conversion which allowed the user to
specify arbitrary line/row break character(s), but there isn't any
linebreak option in the present implementation.

Text-to-table conversion worked correctly under 12.04, which I haven't
used for several months now, having upgraded to 14.04.
