[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 67826] EDITING: Word completion completes text using words deleted from the word completion list

--- Comment #17 from Mikael  ---
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I created an account just post
this message.

Some years back I used Open Office, and the auto complete feature there worked
really well. I remember how it was normal to press enter in almost every
sentence and typing was significantly sped up using auto complete. When I
switched to Libre Office, I lost this habit, and I've tried to think about why.
I think there are at least two reasons. 

The first, and I think primary reason, is that Libre Office shows the suggested
completion in a little box above the text, while Open Office was showing the
suggested completion as what it would look like if I would have just continued
typing (only with a different shade). This difference is significant. The eyes
are focusing on where the cursor is, and on the continuation of the line. It's
not at all as easy to switch visual focus to a box above the line. I feel that
it somehow disturbs the visual flow.

The second problem is connected to this bug report, but I think not only that.
I don't know how the completion choice algorithm works, but it seems to be
working pretty badly. It tends to choose weird long strings such as URL:s or
other weird strings it must have seen in some document. But these suggestions
are completely unlikely to be what one is looking for. The choice algorithm
should make some kind of probability estimation, it doesn't even have to be
advanced: The most frequent word with a specific prefix is the most probable
continuation.

Someone mentioned that it is possible to choose between completions with tab or
something, but this would be a useless option. One has to remember that typing
for most of us is already pretty fast. Having to go through alternative
completions would defeat the purpose.

Finally, I believe that these functional weaknesses in how Libre Office
implements auto completion, is the reason that this bug is getting little
attention. Fixing this particular bug isn't enough to make it the valuable
feature that I remember that it was in Open Office. But maybe it would be
possible for Libre Office to look at how auto completion worked in Open Office
and just copy how the feature worked there, because I remember that it was
really good.

Still living in Version 6.4.6.2.  A web search on the problem yields next to
nothing.  Only a persistent end user, by posing a question directly at
ask.libreoffice.org, can get an indication of why they are getting phantom word
completion tips.  Any chance this bug can get fixed after 7 years, pretty
please?

I tried bibisect. (LO couldn't start a number of times at the beginning so I
skipped it.) 
Later in Version 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ word is remembered correctly but not offered
during typing, so test for this bug is not possible. I skipped that also. 
Michael, sorry to bother you when I'm not sure, but I don't see other way,
since yours is the first bad. Please take a look.

Version where behavior started should be correct before setting
bibisectRequest, or at least indicate it' wasn't determined. 
No repro 3.6.0. Repro 4.0.0. And, if I understand this well, also 6.4+.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
