Advance csv plugin, double quotes in some cases disappear from file

#1

I have sublime text 3 and I have installed Advanced CSV plugin. However, I noticed a peculiar behaviour. If my file contains words surrounded by double quotes, ie. “abc”, if I justify columns, the double quotes disappear. And when I make the columns compact, the quotes do not reappear. But if you have different cases such as “abc,abc” or “[abc]”, then the quotes remain as they are after justifying columns. Is this a bug?

To reproduce, create a file with following entries:
col1,col2,col3,col4
“abc”,abc,"[abc,abc]",“abc,abc”

Note comma is the delimiter. In the first field “abc”, the quotes will disappear when you justify columns.

Thank you. I am assuming you have to turn off auto-quote using menu->preferences->key bindings?
I tried this following:
[
{ “keys”: [“\””], “command”: “insert”, “args”: {“characters”: “\””} }

]

But the issue remains.

I am not using that plugin but I just found a maybe-related issue from the issue list.
It’s still an issue because it’s still an issue :slight_smile:.
