Bug ID: 155315
Summary: Auto-correction should not apply when multiple correct
forms are possible
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Some forms that need correcting can be corrected to different correct forms.
Auto-correction may lead to a form that is not the one desired and needs
correction.
Steps to Reproduce:
In Romanian: type a wrong form (e.g., "razbunata", "rasfatata", "neastamparata"
etc)
Actual Results:
These are automatically corrected to proper forms ("răzbunată"=revenged, fem.,
"răsfățată"=spoiled/pampered, fem., "neastâmpărată"=naughty/unruly, fem.), but
which are not the only ones possible (notably, the definite forms may also be
expected in these examples: "răzbunată"=the revenged one, fem., "răsfățată"=the
spoiled/pampered one, fem., "neastâmpărată"= the naughty/unruly, fem.).
Expected Results:
Auto-correction should provide a word unambiguosly expected relatively to the
incorrect form to which the automated action is applied.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I have noticed this while trying to fix the bug on auto-correction being
applied to correct Romanian words
(https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155087).
I am only aware of this problem with the Romanian auto-correction, but I would
like to know if this could be identified as a rule: forms that might support
multiple correct forms should not be auto-corrected.
If this is true, I could apply some adjustments to the Romanian auto-correction
while I work for the linked bug report.
As said here (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155087#c21):
`The autocorrection tool for any language must be prepared to require the least
possible effort from user: the replacements that the tool makes must be correct
on 100% cases`.
That is not the case if supplementary actions may be required from the user.
Auto-correction should not operate when ulterior intervention is not excluded.
