Guess its related, I tried to import CSV Files. Its hard to reproduce but it seems when I import a file the first time and set separators and decimal-char correct, the import works fine. Any second attempt fails. Even when I close and reopen Labplot2. I even tried the same CSV data with different separators. No change. I played around for about an hour with two different Computers - behaviour was same. Over all CSV Import seems pretty broken.

This problem is not related to the original problem with "Auto" reported here. We fixed a couple of issues in this area recently. Can you please our current development version a try if its feasible for you? It's already very close to the next release feature wise and we're working now on bug fixes and improvements only. If it's not possible for you to work with the current dev version, please try refresh the preview and close the dialog and open it again - once you do the proper settings for separator etc. and refresh the preview, the data should be shown and imported correctly. If it still doesn't work for you, please attach your csv file so we can quickly check.
For CSV files we added the logic to always use comma as the separator. Further improvements for the auto-detection of settings will be tracked internally on invent.kde.org when we start refactoring and improving the import file dialog soon and not as a bug report.
