Bug ID: 149045
Summary: uppercase beginning of sentence after newline
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
it is of course understood that one would not want to uppercase the first
letter after a ) or ” even if there is a punctuation mark just inside the
delimiter. on the occasions that the text inside the delimiter is the end of
the sentence, the shift can be done manually.
but this makes no sense if the first character after the ) or ” is a newline
(denoted by the symbol ↵ or html mnemonic ↵ (ampersand crarr semicolon))!
clearly, if one begins a new line, that indicates another paragraph and should
begin with an uppercase letter.
examples: (a question?) more text
but, (a question?)↵
New paragraph begins with uppercase letter.
“an exclamatory quote!” and the rest.
but, “an exclamatory quote!”↵
The newline should force the next character to be uppercased.
my version is 6.4.7.2 but it has been present for a long time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter text with closing paren or double quote
2.hit enter
3.first letter of word following the enter should be uppercased but is not.
Actual Results:
paragraph begins with lowercase letter.
Expected Results:
when you start a new paragraph, you expect it to begin with an uppercase
letter, or at least i do.
the program does this properly except when a newline is entered.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
this has been occurring as long as i can recall using libre office.
cannot access the keywords page; it times out.
