I just discovered a surprising interaction: csv-kill-fields and csv-kill-
multiple-columns break if the buffer is in text mode and a (quoted) field
contains a comma.
For example, take the line
"1,2","3"
and interactively delete the first field with csv-kill-fields.
If the buffer is in csv or fundamental mode, the result is, as expected
"3"
If the buffer is in text mode, the result is
2","3"
I have not tested other functions in csv-mode.el for similar breakage.
Is there a better place to report this? Maybe the only change should be to
document the mode requirement. The only reason I'm in text mode is that I
am pasting csv data into an existing text file for reformat to fixed
columns.
