Bug#298491: libspreadsheet-parseexcel-perl: Superfluous spaces inserted in a cell

[Frederic Briere]

Package: libspreadsheet-parseexcel-perl
Version: 0.2603-2
Severity: normal

Here's another problematic mini-sheet:

<http://www.imars.com/~fbriere/spaces.xls>

Notice how the contents of the cell does not appear to contain any
spaces, according to both gnumeric and OOo.  However:

  [fbriere] toroia:/home/imars/gx $ perl -MSpreadsheet::ParseExcel -le 'print "<", Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new->Parse("spaces.xls")->{Worksheet}[0]{Cells}[0][0]->Value, ">"'
  < 1-119 >

Changing the format of the cell to general seems to make it work again.
