Thank you for your bug report, I can reproduce this bug running LibreOffice Version: 4.1.0.4 Build ID: 89ea49ddacd9aa532507cbf852f2bb22b1ace28 on Mac osx 10.8.4. I think this bug is hard to fix because this also happens wen I use a Y for e.g. It is an effect of 'Correct two initial capitals' option. |
Calc is changing case of non-leading characters of alpha numeric strings in an apparently random fashion. Example: PXgYuvqi is changed to PxgYuvqi - Note second character. TTVcCBvm is unchanged and saved as entered. Setting Tools > Cell Contents > AutoInput has been un-checked and LibreOffice Calc closed and restarted. This has had no effect on the case change problem. Auto correct should NOT be on by default on a spreadsheet. Word processors sure, a spread sheet, not even maybe. Alpha numeric strings are common in spreadsheets, and to have the application prevent a user from entering certain strings is not a reasonable approach.
