--- Comment #8 from Dodo Ivanecky <[email protected]> ---
I strongly disagree with this behavior. Paste Special is conceptually unrelated
to single-click mouse pasting under X11. While this may work differently under
Windows, it is not a single-click operation in the X environment.

With the current default behavior, tables are regularly modified in unintended
ways, which makes the feature actively harmful in daily use. This is serious
enough that I am considering downgrading.

I fully understand that correct automatic format detection is non-trivial (for
example due to locale-specific number and date formats). However, if this new
behavior is enabled by default, there must be a clear and straightforward way
to disable it entirely.

Automatic format inference should be opt-in, not imposed on users who rely on
predictable paste semantics.
