Description Urmas 2012-11-28 05:59:15 UTC 
1. Begin a sentence with a letter like dž.
2. Autoreplace will change it to DŽ, instead of Dž.
Comment 1 Roman Eisele 2012-11-28 11:25:00 UTC 
Thank you for your bug report!

REPRODUCIBLE with all LibreOffice versions since 3.3.0, including 3.6.4.1, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel).

This is true at least for the following characters from Unicode areas “Latin Extended B”:
dž lj nj dz
should become
Dž Lj Nj Dz
but become
DŽ LJ NJ DZ
instead.

@ Caolán:

This is a minor issue, and probably a very old one; but maybe it is easy to fix -- just some error in some replacement table, or similar? I CC you because you have fixed some similar bugs; so feel free to take a look at this issue, or just ignore it (I know you got many much more important things to do) ;-)

Thank you very much!

something somewhere is using toupper on the character rather than totitle

@ Caolán:

Wow -- incredible! I hoped that you would come up with a solution easily, but I did not expect that it would be so fast. Thank you very much!

Would it be reasonable to backport this fix to the 3.6 branch?

Comment 8 Roman Eisele 2012-12-13 08:44:46 UTC 
VERIFIED as FIXED on Mac OS X (10.6.8, Intel) with

  LOdev 4.0.0.0.beta1 (Build ID: 87906242e87d3ddb2ba9827818f2d1416d80cc7)
  TinderBox: MacOSX TDF Release, Branch:libreoffice-4-0,
  Time: 2012-12-05_22:13:37

i.e. our official 4.0beta1. Auto-capitalization now works fine for all digraphs from “Latin Extended B”: dž lj nj dz now become Dž Lj Nj Dz, as expected.


@Caolán:
Thank you very much for fixing this issue!
