Description: Some expressions' first letters eligible to be capitalized are not capitalized. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Under Fedora, open a new ODT document, enter 'a' as only content; 2. Under Tools -> AutoCorrect, check While Typing; 3. Under Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrect Options, Options tab, check both boxes for Capitalize first letter of every sentence, one for initial typing, the other for modification of existing text; 4. Alternate the use of following combinations with Step 1. : '. ', '.[Return]', '! ', '? '; 5. Enter as contents, each alone, 'Linux? linux. ', 'Linux? a. ', 'A? linux. '. Actual Results: 4. – Combinations '. ', '.[Return]' do not trigger capitalization operations. 5. – Respective results are 'Linux? Linux. ', 'Linux? a. ', 'A? linux. '. Only expression 'linux' in first content has been capitalized as expected. Expected Results: Assuming full stop ('.'), question mark ('?'), exclamation point ('!') followed by space mark (' ') or [Return] mark at the end of an expression, answer to the definition of a sentence. The following steps' contents are eligible to trigger capitalization operations. 4. – 'a. ', 'a.[Return]'. 5. – 'Linux? a. ', 'A? linux. '. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.1.2.1; Build ID: 6.1.2.1-4.fc29; CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded
Thank you for reporting the bug. I can reproduce the bug in Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3c964980da07892a02d5ac721d80558c459532d0 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-12-12_02:07:45 Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
I guess it is some rule made on purpose, possibly a balancing act trying not to annoy users. The same applies for strings with 2 characters: 'ab. ' will not capitalise. I found the condition: In editeng/source/misc/svxacorr.cxx In the function definition void SvxAutoCorrect::FnCapitalStartSentence > if( *pDelim && 2 >= pDelim - pWordStt && > lcl_IsInAsciiArr( ".-)>", *pDelim ) ) > return; Adding needsDevAdvice.
Dear ricky.tigg, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

Version: 7.0.4.2; Build ID: 00(Build:2); CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US; Calc: threaded I still observe the depicted behaviours. They may though be expected as the results of an applied hidden rule as suggested. By essence, users cannot be aware of how such a rule would be aimed to apply and then unable to determine whether there are some incorrect results if any.

Over four years later. And now, what would be a guess of `Buovjaga`? Still a "some rule made on purpose", or something else? Issue from the beginning or not?
