Description:
Even after selecting lowercase, lowercase is not applied if we give space after selecting lowercase in LibreOffice Writer. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open LibreOffice Writer.
2. In line start type any word in small letters.
eg. insert 
3. After the above word, dont give any space. Make sure your cursor blinks immediately after your word’s last letter.
4. Select the word by double clicking on it.
5. In Menu, under format -> Text -> select lower case [through Format --> Text --> lowercase] .
6. Confirm your word got changed to all small letters.
7. Now give a space after the word.




Actual Results:
Word should be in all small letters [lower case]. 

Expected Results:
First letter got changed to capital again. 


Reproducible: Always

Format -> Text -> lowercase simply replaces uppercase characters with their lowercase counterparts. It does not apply any additional *property* to the affected text. And this text behaves like any other normal text, e.g. autocorrect rules affect it.

What you observe in #3 is "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" autocorrection rule (Tools->AutoCorrect->AutoCorrect Options, tab "Options"). Its effect is completely unrelated to the previous "Format -> Text -> lowercase".

This is not a bug.
