On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 6.3.2, I don't see anything wrong. Could you provide the txt file example + odt file?
Hi I can explain the problem: 1 I made a copy of txt from a web page 2 I made a paste in a new writer document 3 I tried to convert txt in board (no work correctly) then ctrl Z and save in txt file 4 With notpad + i looked at the no visible chars in the txt file and i see LF in the and of lines. 5 With notpad + i changed LF in CR LF on all the lines 6 I made a copy from my new txt file and paste in writer document. 7 then to convert txt in board was OK Thank you for your fantastic libre office.
Would it be possible you indicate the website? Indeed, when I tested by copying paste your example in comment 1: " text1; text2;text3 auther text1; auther text2; auther text3 ...." the table conversion was ok on Writer.

On Win10 with LO 6.3.2, I could reproduce this. I noticed that if you copy from website then unformatted paste, it worked.
OK Thank you. This way make a paste with CR LF. i notice to use this method. Sorry for my ignorance.
