            Bug ID: 144924
           Summary: Split Basic function return Array Type String, not
                    Variant/String like the oldest version
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: BASIC
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: edil at helpidea.net

Sub Main ' LibreOffice 6.3
        Dim a
        a = Split("5+3", "+") ' a Type Variant(0 to 1);  a(0) Type
Variant/String
        a(0) = cInt(a(0)) ' --> 5  a(0) Type Variant/Integer
End Sub

Sub Main ' LibreOffice 7.1.3
        Dim a
        a = Split("5+3", "+") ' a Type String(0 to 1);  a(0) Type String
        a(0) = cInt(a(0)) ' --> "5"  a(0) Type String    REMAIN STRING
End Sub

It seems logical to have Array(String) from one String, but ....
Whit new behavior it is impossible to change the Type of items, and worst it is
impossible to make Split(Item) to obtain an Array of Arrays.
Obviously I can create a New Array(Variant) and put there the new values, but
my old macros now give errors, and it is more slow.
