Priority: medium
Bug ID: 80265
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Request: Calc should accept and auto-correct round
brackets "（）"
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Description:
When you input a formula in Calc, the valid round bracket is "()". However, for
many users (like our Chinese users), when they are inputting formulas they may
incorrectly type brackets like "（）".
"（）" is "Full-width" chars, and is very common for Chinese users. Microsoft
Office has the functionality to auto-correct the "Full-width" brackets to
"half-width" brackets. For example, when you type in cell A1 "=（1+1）" and hit
ENTER, MSO auto-correct the formula to "=(1+1)" and calculates the correct
result "2".
P.S.:
In fact, Calc already has the functionality to auto-correct some chars within
formula which the users input by mistake, for example: when you input "=1x1",
Calc will ask you if you accept the suggestion to correct the formula as
"=1*1". So I think what is needed is to just include "（）" to the
auto-correction char list.
This enhancement request was first raised in the Chinese LibreOffice discussion
forum, see here: http://libreofficechina.org/thread-9-1-1.html
