--- Comment #10 from Jackson Sul <[email protected]> --- This is still an issue in Writer version 7.6.4.1. The spellchecker will insert straight apostrophes (') when the document is set to only use curly ones (’). This inconsistently leads to only a few words in a document having straight apostrophes. I know it's been said that this is due to dictionaries themselves using straight ones (apparently the default US English Hunspell has the problem), so I'm not sure on the technical solution. The default in Writer should simply match what the user has selected in autocorrect (e.g., curly apostrophes and quotes) so that the user's settings are consistently applied. If the user then needs to manually change it for whatever reason, then they can. (Or set to only use straight apostrophes and quotes, of course, overriding the dictionaries that only use curly ones.) Seems straightforward to me, even if autocorrect has to override the dictionary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
