Description: When I use a contraction as the first word of a sentence, it is not automatically corrected. For example: i'll do it tomorrow. [should correct to --->] I'll do it tomorrow. Even in mid-sentence, proper noun contractions (like I'm, I'll, I'd, etc) do not automatically capitalize. When I noticed this for the first time, I added the words in the Replace list, with no change. The box for "capitalize first word of sentence" is checked. I have had this problem since downloading and using LibreOffice three years ago and throughout all LO updates. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Begin a new sentence by typing a contraction (such as i'm or haven't) 2. Press space bar. AND 1. In the middle of a sentence, type a proper-noun contraction, such as i'll or i've. 2. Press spacebar. Actual Results: The word does not auto-capitalize as instructed in AutoCorrect. Expected Results: The first word of every sentence should auto-capitalize, since the box is checked. Also, proper noun contractions should auto-capitalize.

The autocorrect replacement of the single quote will block the capitalization option. You need to uncheck the Single quotes replacement in Tools -> Autocorrect -> Autocorrect Options: Localized Options tab to enable the "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" option to assert. There is no support for mid-sentence "proper noun contractions".
