Description:
I have been trying to use the LibreOffice ***, +++, etc. shortcuts to put lines in my documentes in LibreOffice Writer but they do not seem to work anymore.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer.
2. Press enter a few times, then type *** or any other line shortcut in the document, then press enter.

Actual Results:
The line break *** shortcut stays as *** when it should have put a special line in the document.

Expected Results:
I expected to see LibreOffice put a special line break in the document like it did in the earlier 6.2 release.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
It is strange that this happens unless for some reason the shortcut line break commands in LibreOffice were removed in the 6.3.4.2 release.

Still WFM on Windows 10 (1903) with

Believe it was intentional change [1] to the Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrect Options default value for the 'Apply border' controlling the 'ChangeToBorders' editengine action. 

Previously was checked enabled, now disabled by default.

Adjust as needed in the AutoCorrect Options dialog.
