I believe to recall that with the current configurable textimport you
can import only (some of) the first 4 times 256 columns. This should
ideally be unlimited and if limited than restricted to a multiple of
SHEET_MAX_COLS.

It may also be the case that not all columns were selected for import in
that dialog.
