Description Adrien 2011-05-08 18:14:14 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

Select some text from another program like $2.34
and middle click to paste into a kspread cell.  The cell is left
justified indicating that kspread is classifying it as a text string,
not a number.  That is the same result as doing a copy and paste
operation with the same text (instead of the selection buffer).  

Type $2.34 into another cell and it is right justified as kspread
interprits it as a number. 

Kspread should copy the number as a number, not a text.

This bug was reported on the Debian Bug Tracker :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600152


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select some text from another program like $2.34 and copy it in a cell.

Actual Results:  
kspread copy the number as text.

Expected Results:  
kspread should copy it as a number.
