This was discussed over a year ago and I don't think things have
changed. I don't think they've changed because I spent an hour trying
to figure out how to turn this 'nice feature' off. You can turn it
off in Word, and while I've just started using OpenOffice this sort
of thing will drive my crazy.
I guess I don't see how understanding how it works makes it a nice
feature. I would never change the formatting of a paragraph while
typing (I'd change the paragraph's style), and knowing how it works
just removes some of the mystery when the program does something I
don't want it to. It does not remove any of the frustration.
Is there a way to disable this feature now?
