I have come upon a huge problem with inputting apostrophes, i.e. U+0027
("straight apostrophe"), which should automatically change to U+2019 ("the right
single quotation mark") using the autocorrect feature in OpenOffice's Writer. I
have the German language pack installed, and the manner in which the autocorrect
funtion works is that it corrects all inputted straight apostrophes to the
German single quotation mark (specifically, U+201B, the "single high-reversed-9
quotation mark"), which is not the apostrophe that is used in possessives or
contractions. When I want to write "the boy's car," the autocorrect doesn't see
that I am trying to use the possessive, and instead switches to what it thinks
is the German version of the single curly quotation mark. The problem carries
over to English text input as well without having the German switched on. I have
solved this problem temporarily by adding a macro to the toolbar to insert the
right single quotation mark, but that is very cumbersome. This is definitely a
detriment to the program as a whole, as the most basic text input functions are,
as a result, hindered.
