This issue has caused me many hours of work, especially since precision data
loss is hardly discoverable. I frequently use CSV as exchange format for
latitude longitude coordinates, so a truncation to 2 digits shifts all locations
by a few 100 meters each. If one infrequently works with OO this always leads to
data loss and requires lots of diagnostic and data recovery time.

I do not see any use-case or application that would benefit from rounded CSV
output data.

OO Spreadsheet is a not-recommended tool for our customers until this is fixed,
even though it excels in UTF-8 handling and CSV reading capabilities.

Data loss without *HUGE* warning or alaert panel is not acceptable.

Solutions:
1. Import the CSV with all digits shown by default. If rounding is desired the
CSV should already be rounded. Make no assumptions about the imported data.
2. Export with a HUGE warning that precision loss may occur.
