--- Comment #5 from Timur <gtimur at gmail.com> ---
Save as CSV gives Export Text File options dialog with Field Delimiter.
Doesn't make sense to use the default "," (if that's what you meant by "if you
chose the comma separator at export..").
I wouldn't agree with "Actual Results" or "Expected Results" as you wrote. It
would be hard to put conditions to avoid user mistake. 
So this is WontFix as requested. 

But I think this request can be changed to "Set semicolon as default Field
Delimiter for CSV instead of comma." I'll confirm so. 
Not sure why comma is default all the way from OO.
