Empty QuoteChar not respected #219

What OS?

  • Windows 11

Description

It should be possible to freely load and edit CSV files that have no quoting. In this particular case, a "TSV" file.

Expected behavior

If the QuoteChar is left empty, the plugin should assume the file does no quoting at all, and therefore do not perform any "quoting validation".

Steps to reproduce

Create a TSV file with "no quoting".
Add some cell value that ends with a quote.

The file cannot be edited; trying to open it produces such an error message:

Trailing quote on quoted field is malformed on line 10

If QuoteChar is "left empty". there is, by definition, NO "quoted field".
