Description VBB 2025-03-14 16:36:01 UTC 
Description:
I believe Calc 25.2.0.3 introduced new automatic/detected separator option, which is now default when opening Text Import dialog. Previously "Separated By" was the default option and worked very well for me, because I needed to paste a lot of columns separated by '='.

So I request to make Text Import dialog remember previous separator option.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste some text using import dialog
2. Choose "Separated By"
3. Click "Ok"
4. Paste text using import dialog again

Actual Results:
Automatic is selected by default (sorry don't remember the exact name of that new 3rd option)

Expected Results:
"Separated By" is selected by default


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Reproducible since libreoffice-25.2.0.3 flatpak version
