Description

If you drag a set of table cell data from a LibreOffice spreadsheet onto the app frame, the data is pasted into a text pane. One of the flavors supported by LibreOffice is text/html and the data is an HTML table. It would be nice if we could see it's a table of values and make a results table window rather than a text window.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how drag-and-drop data from the app frame reaches the text pane, then inspect how the HTML-table flavor can be distinguished from plain text. Done means spreadsheet table drops open a results table window instead of a text window.
