Description Jeff Fortin Tam 2024-10-26 19:58:40 UTC
To reproduce:

1. Open Calc
2. Ctrl+V the contents of a CSV file (or ask Calc to open a .csv file)
3. Change the "From row:" field in that dialog from 1 to 2 (or more).


Actual Result:

The ignored row is represented by a very thin blue separator line below it in the table preview, and that blue line is nearly identical to black, and very much _not_ obvious enough visually, which can be problematic in cases of situations like bug #163638.


Expected result:

Instead of only depending on a separator line, the ignored rows should also have their contents be made 50% transparent, to make it visually obvious. It would also probably be better for compatibility across light vs dark mode.

I am using Mac and the line that is shown separating the rows that will be read/ignored is not exactly problematic. For me the line appears actually black and it is clearly visible.

The problem though, is when you select a specific row to split (example 2 or 3). The next time you try to open a CSV file, the choice is saved (2 or 3), but the line in the preview is not visible. Only when changing the number is that the line appears to me.
