            Bug ID: 509012
           Summary: Data copied from a report view is formatted
                    incorrectly
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
      Version First 5.2.1
       Reported In:
          Platform: Solus
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Keywords: regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: reports
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kdedev at tlcnet.info
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When copying data from a report, it used to be easily pasted as plain text /
csv into a spreadsheet. This stopped working in 5.2.x

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a report for expenses per month
2. Use the mouse to highlight the rows for the current month
3. Right click - copy
4. In Libre Office Calc, use Paste Special - Unformatted text
5. Change the separator from "Detected (space" to "Separated by"

OBSERVED RESULT
Every value is on its own row, there is only one column of data

Ex:
8/1/2025
Store name
Visa 1234
Widgets
-10.00

EXPECTED RESULT
Values are formatted properly, each column has the expected data for that field
Ex:
8/1/2025    Store name    Visa 1234    Widgets    -10.00


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Solus 4.7
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Kernel Version: 6.15.6-321.current (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This used to work in KMymoney prior to 5.2.1
While there's a workaround in that I can use "Export report", that has its own
problems.
1. If the report does not have "Convert values to base currency" set, the
Amount column turns into a string with USD being appended to the numerical
value, making it useless for calculations.
2. If the report does have "Convert values to base currency" set, there is an
unwanted "Price" column that I need to delete to copy the desired data - See
bug 506692
