Validation with list choices from non-expression array

Submitted by J.H.M. Dassen (Ray)

Package: gnumeric Version: 1.6.2-1

When importing an Excel 97 spreadsheet with a situation similar to the following, the validation criteria get mangled.

In Excel, several cells are marked with validation settings to allow a List. The Source is

Alpha, Beta, Gamma

"Ignore blank" and "In-cell dropdown" are checked.

When loading into gnumeric, the validation settings for the cells become Allow in a list with a Source of

"Alpha"

"Ignore blank" is checked.

gnumeric proceeds to enforce these settings, only allowing a value of "Alpha". If I try to change the source to

"Alpha", "Beta", "Gamma"

gnumeric pops up the dialog saying "The validation criteria are unusable. Disable validation?"
