Description: When trying to set a part of a word as subscript, I first type the letters. E.g.: :alpha:min, then select "min" and go via context menu to symbols and select subscript. As the string ":alpha:min" is not recognized, the autocorrect context menu is shown. An easy workaround is avoiding the context menu and using Format-> Symbols (translating from the german UI) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Type ":alpha:min" into cell 2.mark "min", using Shift+left arrow 3.call context menu via right mouse button or Context menu button on keyboard Actual Results: Autocorrection context menu is shown Expected Results: normal contet menu should be added to the autocorrect context menu Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.0.6.2 Build-ID: Gentoo official package CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Linux 4.14; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: gtk3; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.utf8); Calc: group An easy workaround is avoiding the context menu and using Format-> Symbols (translating from the german UI)
I would prefer to have some indicator to write subscript like _ in latex. In addition the context mend should not have direct formatting elements like subscript isn't it?
I'm not sure this is something we want to do. Requesting UX team to give input.
More or less similar: some time ago, added to the context menu of Writer are options for xxx, that previously were inaccessible with spell checking. So seems logic to me.
I agree with Cor. Let's have this minimum consistency. Andreas, do you want to make a patch?
sorry but I don't know where the autocorrectable .xml is located and where to add the commands.
We have some ui files containing the menu (see https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&full=%22_Add+to+Dictionary%22&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&si=full). But after adding the menuitem entry you also have to link it with the actual UNO command (see https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/editeng/source/editeng/editview.cxx?r=71b660a2#847, for example). So it's not simply editing an XML file but some C++ code.
can you fix this bug heiko?
In LO 6.4, when I select part of a mis-spelled word, I do not get a list of corrections when I right-click on the selection. Instead, I get the normal menu with copy/paste extra, just like OP is asking for. So perhaps this has been fixed? I can't test this in bibisect, because it isn't giving my any dictionaries...
repro 7.6. Reproducing that if you first select the word, then spelling suggestions do NOT interfere. Also reproducing that if you do simply right-click on a spelling-suggestion, you ONLY get a spelling menu.
repro 24.8. Note that this is actually a CALC bug. In Calc, selecting does not give the regular pop-up menu. The same autocorrect-only context menu is shown in Writer. However, in Writer if you select the word, then you get the normal context menu.
I don't see what comment 3 claims is implemented in Writer. That looks like the still-open request for bug 89673. I'll make this one a duplicate. Basically, the critical part of this bug report (for selected content) has been solved in 26.2, courtesy of bug 98902. It now works the same way as Writer (as described in comment 10). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 89673 ***
