--- Comment #4 from b. <[email protected]> ---
Think ... just assume, not digged down in code:  
Entering a formula in a sheet simply keeps the column width,  
meaningful,  
importing a csv applies a width matching the longest input,  
and / or the longest formula result in full precision,  
meaningful,  
so just different behvior in different situations ...  
not suitable for the OP, however if we change not suitable  
for one or the other half of users accustomed to actual.  

So just mention in some wiki, and always be aware that calc  
doesn't show the full precision of values used for calculating  
- up to 17 digits significance -, however instead something  
shrinked to 15 digits, in which step rounding effects, and in  
consequence deviations vs. decimal expectations may strike.  

And that rounding effects may progress "domino" over chains of  
999... or 000..., and in consequence harm "more left" than  
they evolved, only the cases are reduced by factor 10 with  
each position.
