Screencast

I want to create a range name called "MAPS". When I start typing that, Calc autocompletes to "Manage names..." even if I type in all capitals. The result will be "MaPS".

confirm for EN UI, but not for RU UI

Why me specifically ? Is there a commit of mine responsible for the current state ?

No, I thought you can look at it as UI guru. If I shouldn't do it, then sorry for the noise

I used bibisect-43all to find out when Manage names was added: https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/74d3dd420bd80f88dd7e1078dd500aba8841aa44

Comment 8 Andreas Heinisch 2024-03-04 09:13:49 UTC
This is due to autocomplete in used in the input field. We could disable autocomplete in the range window, but I'm unsure of how it affects other use cases.
