Bug ID: 145096
Summary: Writer [Collected Words] ignores tick box – (When
closing a document, remove the words collected from
it, from the list.)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.0.4 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In Writer, AutoCorrect Options, Collected Words. Ticking the option “When
closing a document, remove the words collected from it, from the list.”, Writer
still retains all collected items from that list and applies them as
suggestions in new or existing documents. The Collected Words list of a new
document is visually empty, but when typing, Writer suggests items from the
Collected Words lists of previously opened documents. Only by rebooting the
computer is that ‘internal’ list cleared.
However, when a document is next opened, the Collected Words list, from that
document, is always added to an ‘internal’ list. Regardless of tick box
position, Writer always retains the items of every Collected Words list.
Steps to Reproduce:
Opened an existing Writer .docx document. Ensured Collected Words and "When
closing a document, remove the words collected from it, from the list", options
were both ticked. Added gibberish words to the document and checked they had
been added to the Collected Words list. Saved and closed the document.
Created a new .docx document and verified the Collected Words list was empty.
On typing, I was able to get Writer to offer the gibberish words as AutoCorrect
suggestions. I checked my user-defined dictionary to confirm the gibberish
words had not been added. The suggestions came only from the Collected Words
list.
I opened a second existing document, noted a specific item (alphanumeric) in
its Collected Words list then closed the document. On continuing to type into
the new document I was able to get the same alphanumeric suggestion to appear.
Only by rebooting the computer was I able to clear the lists of those two
documents. But on reopening them, or any other existing documents, the same
issue would reoccur.
Actual Results:
With the second option ticked. The Collected Words list of each document
correctly displays the items specific to that document and no other. However,
when typing into any document, Writer still uses the Collected Words lists of
every previously opened document.
Visually, Writer is correct in not showing lists from other documents, but when
typing, it incorrectly still suggests items from every Collected Words list, of
previously opened documents.
Regardless of the tick box position, Writer will always use the Collected Words
lists from every previously opened document.
Expected Results:
I was expecting the second tick box option to not only clear the Collected
Words list visually, but also that it would stop Collected Words, of one
document, from appearing as suggestions in a different document.
Currently, the tick box’s only function is visually clearing a list.
Operationally it does nothing.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I tested the above with both .docx and .odt documents and the behavior was
identical in each case.
