Bug ID: 159136
Summary: When spellcheck is on, Enter key triggers correction
in a Calc cell.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
This behavior perverts the meaning of the enter key. In my case it led to a
Kafka-esque struggle to keep an unusual (but for my purposes correct) spelling
in a cell. Granted that space key or punctuation keys can trigger auto
correction, the enter key never should. It means, "I am fine with this, enter
this please".
This appears to be not a bug in the narrower sense, as Libre Office is arguably
doing what devs intended. But the intention is mistaken.
It can be worked around by making the edit of a different word or so in the
same cell the last thing one does before hitting enter. But not always is a
different word there, and users cannot always monitor for random false
corrections every time they type and enter contents.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure spell check / correction is on
2. Type something that gets corrected, e.g. word with 2 capital letters at the
beginning or lowercase word after period and space
3. Hit enter
Actual Results:
Words with double uppercase letters are changed to one uppercase; lowercase
letters after period and space are changed to uppercase. Generally: supposed
corrections are done upon hitting enter.
Expected Results:
At least (and arguably only) upon hitting enter, no spell correction should be
done. Enter places the responsibility for spelling with the user.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
