There is a point of confusion on the index number assigned to the first data point. In the Configure ASCII file window of Data Wizard it was required to set Data starts at line: 2 and Read field names from line: 1. In the next window the user is given the option of setting Start: under Data Range. The Start: number defaults to 0, but it isn't clear that it should not start at 1, because the previous window indicated that the first data point was numbered 1. And read to end is the only option. So changing Start: to 0 and selecting Read to end gives the correct starting results byt not the correct ending results. In this case the first point is included, but the last point is not. There is a point of confusion on the index number assigned to the first data point.

In the next window the user is given the option of setting Start: under Data Range. The Start: number defaults to 0, but it isn't clear whether numbering should start from 0 or 1, because the previous window implied that lines were numbered starting from 1. Thus setting Start: to 0 will include the first point. However, Read to end is the only option for the the last point. Thus changing Start: to 0 and selecting Read to end will give the correct starting results but not the correct ending results. In this case the first point is included, but the last point is not. A workaround is to include a blank line at the end of the data file. In this case the Sublime Text editor shows 13 lines in the simple.dat file instead of the original 12. In essence, a hidden \n was added to the end of the last line. The key, apparently, is that each valid line must be terminated with a \n (in Linux and Unix) presumably. Not sure what Windows would require. Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software.
