Description: Auto correct is turned on and some things are correcting but newly created created replacements are not being corrected and even first word capitalisation isn’t working either while typing or using the apply function. Version is 6.1.2.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set new text to be corrected in auto correct options 2. Start typing in document to see if working 3. When not working while typing use apply function in auto correct Actual Results: Auto corrected words not working Expected Results: Any entries used in auto correct should correct while typing or at least is the auto correct apply function is used Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Auto correct should just work out of the box...it’s a basic word processing feature.
Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
Thanks Dieter for looking at this so quickly. I notice this in ‘fresh’ on Manjaro and though that I should check in a stable older version. So yes, it’s still there. The fresh version I’m using on manjaro is 6.2.2.2 In the last half an hour I’ve played around with it a bit more and I can see now that it’s intermittent in that auto correct works while typing until you go back and change something that was auto corrected and then it breaks so that even first letter of new sentence doesn’t capitalise. So I’m going to set this back to unconfirmed like you suggest. Thanks again for taking a look so quickly. Regards, Greg
Hi Greg, Have you tested this on a Mac or Linux? Or is it an issue on both? The bug report says macOS, but you mention Manjari which is a Linux distribution. Newly created replacements seem to work for me Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ea9c13be02ba731074fa4207944ff7df40a0fb5c CPU threads: 2; OS: Mac OS X 10.13.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; TinderBox: MacOSX-x86_64@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-04-10_20:43:17 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

Hi Eisa01, I've done more investigation now and I think I have narrowed it down to the fact that if the first word of a sentence contains an apostrophe, then it stops capitalising the first word of the sentence. It will stop capitalising thereafter for any first word of a sentence. Also the auto correcting isn't correcting newly added words to the auto correct list. I've attached some screen shots this time around...just random typing to illustrate the problems. I can replicate this without fail, every time. Unless someone has address this specific bug, I can't imagine that it is fixed. I tested it on both Mac 6.1.2.1 and on Linux Manjaro 6.2.2.2 'fresh' version as Dieter requested. I haven't tested this on the alpha version 6.3.0.0, but I'm pretty sure it will still be there in the alpha given as it was there on both the previous versions.
Not Mac specific, per comment 7
I don't really know what I did, but I added kown -> know to the Autocorrect list. It was initially working fine (I had Autocorrect while typing on) I then disabled that, and it did work when I clicked Apply and edit changes. Then I don't exactly remember what I did and it stopped working. I verified the autocorrect entry was still present When I tried to do it again, it only works on konw, not Konw, but otherwise seems to work fine (apart from inserting line breaks on it's own), see upload. I don't remember if my initial testing was using Konw or konw, or both.

Can someone give fresh enumerated steps on how we can reproduce the problem?
