[Bug 1400214] Re: LibreOffice no longer converts text to table correctly
There is a "fix" for this problem, but the fix is barely better than the
original. It now converts successive lines of the source into separate
tables! NOT what is desired.
Convert text to table should convert successive lines of the source into
successive rows in the destination table - a single table for the entire
source. Each field of the source lines should go into a column (cell)
of the destination table.
This used to work correctly.
One source block --> one destination table is what is wanted, not a mass
of mini-tables inside an overall table. What a mess.

Title:
LibreOffice no longer converts text to table correctly
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
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.
