--- Comment #4 from realgrouchy <[email protected]> ---
This is ridiculous. It's very frustrating and very difficult to work around or
disable for the average user. I would give it a higher importance than
"trivial".

I have a list of names, combined from various sources. I am trying correct
"BARBARA" to "Barbara", but because there is another instance of "BARBARA"
somewhere in that column, I cannot do so. 

Similarly, if I have "Barbara Ann" and I enter the cell and remove the " Ann"
to change it to "Barbara", it 'corrects' it to "BARBARA" because an instance of
that exists somewhere else.

The ONLY way I am able to get this text in here is by typing "Barbara"
somewhere in another column, then using "Paste Special > Text only" to
overwrite the text in the cell. 

In addition, avoiding this behaviour by turning off Autoinput altogether is in
"Tools > Cell Contents > Autoinput (uncheck)". I would have expected it to be
on one of the panels in "Tools > Options > Calc"

Assuming this behaviour must continue to exist, I would suggest a behaviour
similar to the auto capitalization of the first letter after a period. In MS
Word and on my phone, the first letter after a period is automatically
capitalized, but if I backspace it undoes the change of case.
