Description Barrie Backhurst 2011-12-20 10:57:07 UTC

Version:           2.4-snapshots (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

When using the csvimport.py script the data is inserted at cell A1 rather than the currently selected cell as I would have expected. This has the effect of overwriting existing data in the sheet without warning and the UNDO command is unable to reverse the process.

Adjusting the import dialog to the required address works correctly, but IMHO the default in the script should be to use the currently selected cell and warn if data exists in those cells

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
open file with data starting at A1 and import 2nd file accepting the defaults

Actual Results:  
2nd file overwrote existing data and was not reversible

Expected Results:  
Using the defaults, data imports to currently selected cell and warns if the range has existing data. Operation should be reversible via UNDO command

KDE version actually 4.7.4(not listed above)

This script is unmaintained, and now obsolete (the functionality is available natively).
