            Bug ID: 117340
           Summary: csv Fixed width exports whats on screen
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jimmy2309a at yahoo.com

closest thing I found is talking about spanned cells - I don't know about
spanned cells.

When I save as csv file fixed width, It saves what is shown on screen,
It does not matter what is in the cell, 5 chars or 30 chars if there are 10
chars on the screen, thats all that will export, it truncates the rest of the
longer cell or pads the shorter cell to match what is shown on the screen,

if I have a cell with 30 chars in it and drag the cell on screen wider it will
pad the 30 char with spaces on export, If I drag the cell narrower it will
truncate chars that are not shown on screen during export.

I don't think it should ever truncate a cell, but should pad shorter cells to
match the longest cell in each column.

So if cell A1 is 5 chars and cell B1 is 20 chars and cell C1 is 10 chars on
save it should set column 1 to 20 chars and pad A1 and C1 with spaces to match
the width of 20 chars as in B1.

I hope this is enough info.
