           Summary: When importing a csv-file into Kaddressbook, empty
                    fields are disregarded and data end up in the wrong
                    columns.
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: engelup at sunrise.ch
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Addresses contained in a Libre Office spread sheet are to be imported in
Kaddressbook. The table contains empty fields (e.g. no fax number) which appear
in the csv file as follows: ,,,, (= three empty fields separated by commas).
The parser disregards the empty fields thus data end up in the wrong columns. 

This bug has been reported before and is listed as fixed as of version 4.6,
however, it seems it is not.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Save LibreOffice-calc table (.ods) as text-csv ("save as"). Go to applications
menu, open Kaddressbook, select addressbook, import csv-file. 

Actual Results:  
Parser wsindows opens and shows data in wrong columns, i.e. field contents are
moved to the left when there are empty fields to the left of the field with
content. 
Cancelled procedure.

Expected Results:  
Show each field as in the original table.

OpenSuse 11.4, LibreOffice 3.3.1.
