When I used the OpenOffice.org Help system, it quickly located the relevant function to disable the problematic behaviour. Specifically, the option was under Tools->Cell Contents->AutoInput. This worked in LibreOffice exactly the same way and did result in the word completion being disabled. As a note, I did search the online LibreOffice help using "word completion" and several other things I thought of and no hints were provided in how to turn this off in Calc. So, I'm not sure if this is a user interface issue (because the same logical functionality is managed in different ways depending on whether Writer or Calc is used), or a documentation issue, but I do believe it remains a usability issue. As an example, there is a bug report from OpenSUSE that was the only reference I found to turning off word completion in Calc (all other references were for Writer), and nobody in that thread seems to have known about the "AutoInput" control: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700415 As a final comment, the fact that it is an on/off flag in the actual menus seems a little bit of a UI overkill, implying that people are going to want to switch back and forth between word completion and not often (vs. putting it in the Tools->Options... menu). In general, I will either have it on for a document or off, but it's possible it should be a "quick access" feature if others use it often enough. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
