Description Dominik Lenné 2019-03-18 19:22:46 UTC
steps to reproduce:

1. open new libre office writer file by right-clicking in windows explorer, then ->new ->opendocument text.

remark: in this case, the user defined .ott-file, that is used when openig a new document via -> file -> new -> textdocument (or ctrl n) is not used, but some very default opentext template with no user defined paragraph templates.

2. check, that -> extras -> autocorrection -> options for German is in standard setting. i.e. U201E set as opening quotation mark.

3. type quotation mark

expected behaviour:

U201E appears

actual behaviour:

U201C appears

remark: this is the character for the closing quotation mark.

Could you verify that the language of the paragraph is actually set to German--the U+201C opening double quote is default for English. And where closing quote would be U+201D--what is the closing double quote you are receiving?

The language of the current paragraph should be picked up from locale, as set in Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages

If your profile has gone wonky, maybe back it up and use a clean profile. Or give the "safe mode" a try--either should pick up your OS locale.

Hi,

I found, that the language of the paragraph was "english/usa".

When switching it to "german", the behaviour is as expected.

When I opened a document via - file - open new document the user defined template is used, the paragraph language is "standard" and the behaviour is as expected. 

table of double quotes i get (all starting with u201)

                opening   closing
en/usa          c         d 
standard/ger    e         c



OS:                w10
actual LO version: 6.3.2.2
system language:   german

So, when opening a new file via   - explorer - context menu - new - opendocument text   the local language setting is not beeing recognized and used for the first  paragraph.

As far as I understand your comment, this is another issue. So please file a new bug report for that. If - as you mentioned - quotation marks works as expected we can close this bug report as RESOLVED NOTABUG. Please feel free to change it again to UNCONFIRMED with a short reasoning, if you don't agree.

I found bug 90286 which is very similar and added behaviour description there.
So any further work is with 90286.
