Most of the words with terminating dot are last word of the sentences with the terminating period, so it's still the best to remove them automatically. The biggest bug was that the custom dictionaries did not support the spell checking of the abbreviations without the mandatory dot. After fixing this, I added only two special exceptions for the default dot stripping: the words with multiple dots in the (faster) spell checking dialog window, and the extra ~"Add with the terminating dot" option in the context menu of the words with terminating dots. Maybe it's worth to add the extra option to the spell checking dialog in the future, too, unifying the context menu and the spell checking dialog window, maybe not. It is much better to add the common abbreviations to the Hunspell dictionaries and to the abbreviation list of the extras/ module to get better sentence breaking in Writer, and to avoid of custom abbreviating. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
