Priority: medium
Bug ID: 78217
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Autocorrect replacement table: selected text is copied
in "With" field rather than "Replace" field
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: Inherited From OOo
Component: Linguistic
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 98361
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=98361&action=edit
test case with screenshot
tested under Win7x64 but I suppose it applies to other O/S as well.
this issue is present in OOo 3.3.0, all LibO releases up to 4.2.3 and
4.3.0alpha1 and AOO 4.1 as well, so "inherited from OOo"
STEPS TO REPRODUCE (see attached .odt file as well)
1- open an empty Writer document
2- type something including a spelling error
3- select that error with left double click
3- hit "Options / "Autocorrect options"
4- the autocorrect replacement table pops up
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
the selected text should be automatically copied
into the "Replace" field
CURRENT BEHAVIOUR
the selected text is automatically copied
into the "With" field
this is basically non-sense since if you select a word and open the autocorrect
replacement table is very likely that you selected an error, and you wanna just
enter the proper spelling in the "With" field
with current behaviour you have to cut the spelling mistake from "With" and
paste it into "Replace" then go back to "With" and type the correct spelling,
this is annoying.
moreover there's risk that some user could not pay attention to the field names
and directly enter the correct spelling in the empty "Replace" field rather
than the proper "With" filed which is already occupied by the bad spelling.
so next time you type correctly that word in will be autocorrected into a
mistake.
I'm not a developer but I think it's should be easy to identify the code that
copies selected text into the replacement table and change the field
destination from "With" to "Replace"
