Bug ID: 172498
Summary: Collision between raw data and a lack of
user-interface User Experience (UX) nuance.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Grammar Mismatch: The right-click menu is offering base-noun synonyms for a
past-tense verb.
• Lack of Vulgarity Filtering: The quick-access context menu desperately
needs a profanity/vulgarity filter so users are not bombarded with highly
offensive terms in a professional or educational word-processing environment.
• Offering noun synonyms when you clearly typed a past-tense verb/adjective
("snatched") is a failure of the software's grammar matching.
(Professional, commercial software (like Microsoft Word) pays teams of editors
to add "tags" to their databases. If a word is tagged as [Vulgar] or [Taboo],
the software knows never to suggest it in a quick right-click menu. LibreOffice
lacks this sophisticated filtering. It just grabs the first handful of words it
finds and throws them onto your screen, completely devoid of context or
warnings.)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type the word "snatched"
2. Right click and click "synonyms."
3.
Actual Results:
A vulgar slang term for female genitalia is presented. LibreOffice lacks this
sophisticated filtering. It just grabs the first handful of words it finds and
throws them onto your screen, completely devoid of context or warnings.
Expected Results:
Vulgar, taboo, and otherwise restricted words should be filtered from the UX.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
