Description ml01.libero@gmail.com 2018-04-14 16:21:18 UTC
Description:
I Haven't found an explanation for this behaviour, exuse me if it's not a bug...
If I digit
/test1/test2
the result is
test1test2
with test1 written in italic.
As soon as I digit the second / around a word, / are removed and the word style is changed to italic.
I tried in both Writer and Calc.
It's not happening in wordpad.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.open writer (or calc)
2. digit: /testword/
3.

Actual Results:  
testword       (in italic)

Expected Results:
/testword/      (in standard font)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The problem is the same using either the '/' over the 7, the one in the numpad or mixing them.
It really seem to me an unwanted shortcut, but I have no idea about hot to remove it!
I tried to check if OpenGL is enabled (as stated below), but the provided program is crashing all the times.

This is autocorrect "markdown" provided by design. 

Controlled from Tools -> AutoCorrect -> Autocorrect Options -> Options tab: checkbox [M][T] for "Automatic *bold*, /italic/, -strikeout- and _underline_"

Enabled by default, where the M is while modifying a text, or T is for while typing new text. Unchecking them will disable the feature.
