            Bug ID: 77603
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: "*" key wildcard autocorrection should be an option
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
         Component: Linguistic
           Product: LibreOffice

wildcard autocorrection with the key "*" has been introduced in LibO 4.2.x (see
Bug 68373)

this new feature can be useful indeed but may also cause unexpected
autocorrections when using autocorrect replacement tables from older LibO
releases containing entries with the key "*" (which was considered a regular
typing character in those versions) as explained in Bug 77508

this happened to me since I was unaware of the new feature (which is also not
published in the 4.2.x release notes
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.2).

so IMHO such a new feature should be set as an option in the
"AutoCorrect/Options" table and probably it should set by defaul in "off" state
so only experienced user could turn it on.

@Lazlo
what do you think about it? is this something feasible?
