Description Max Wildgrube 2013-02-04 13:24:06 UTC 
Hi,
I have a sheet with multiple lines in cells (you can separate lines inside a cell with ctrl-enter). I had to copy the complete sheet with ctrl-a ctrl-c into the clipbord and paste this in a textarea field of a web browser.
(in the background there is a PHP application using fgetcsv for to interprete the content)

But while clipping as text the necessary quotes (") are not surrounded the text fields which contain new-line characters. So these new-line chars produces new rows, destroying the structure of the table.

This is in opposite to the behaviour of MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc which works correctly.
There is a workaround while using save as csv file, which asks for the column and text delimiter.
(And making the copy and paste out off this file)

Not using a text delimiter if there are syntactical characters (as tab or new line) is not meaningful, so I think this is obviously a bug.

OS: Win 7, OOo: 3.4.1

Max.
