[libreoffice-users] Text Import in Calc

After upgrading to version 25.2.0.3 (X86_64) under Linux, I find the
Text Import dialogue box has had an infelicitous change.

In the past, the Separator Options would default to the last used
choice — "Fixed Width' or 'Separated by' or 'Detected (space)', but
now ignores user choice and always selects the least usable (IMO)
option: 'Detected (space)'. I cannot comprehend why this change was
implemented.

Under Tools » Options I have looked in the following sections:
LibreOffice, Load/Save, Languages and Locales, and LibreOffice Calc. I
did not find any options to alter this (mis-)behaviour. I hope I'm
missing something to which I can be steered.

Otherwise, I really, REALLY hope the developers will undo this change.
Every day I import plain text to a Calc spreadsheet which now not only
requires an extra step (changing the Separator Options) but
**remembering** to make the change. And undoing that requires even
more steps. It is a waste of time.
