Paste autoformats bug table
Copying a html <table> into a new sheet causes auto-formatting of cell contents
into "something else".
Attached is a sample html document and also a link here
http://m2.daffodil.uk.com/ERES.html
The area of interest is the "data table" area, headers ignored.
First column ie "Code" ends up with all strange stuff, eg dates, calcs etc.
eg
Source - copy:
100-00-5
100-01-6
100-02-7
Paste -> after
100-00-5

>From some quick research:
* The "text" is formatted on paste, ie one cannot un-format it after
* I can't make head or tail of how it makes up some of the stuff
* changing the "formatting", setting format before etc is unaffected
* trying to setup all various preferences didn't work.
* not tested on Libre Office, but confirmed via IRC (circa 1am 25/12/10)
What is expected is that the cell contents are in the least, "pasteable" (pun
intended) as "raw text", that can be formatted later.
This is a Show Stopper for me.
