Comment 1 Mike Kaganski 2019-11-25 09:31:52 UTC
Confirmed; the [_R] suggested by autoinput replaces everything until a space; so e.g. writing "=3* _R" then Enter succeeds.

Tested with Version: 6.3.3.2 (x64)
Build ID: a64200df03143b798afd1ec74a12ab50359878ed
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded
Comment 2 Mike Kaganski 2019-11-25 10:05:47 UTC
It's already bad in 4.4.0.1; it fails differently in 4.3.0.4: it replaces "=3*_R" with "=3*__R" (inserts second underscore, as if it only considers single character "R" when replacing with the suggested word).

Since the range where the current wrong behaviour is determined, marking it regression bibisectrequest. Note that last year's releases couldn't work, because 4.4 was released back in 2015, and all following releases had that problem.

The replacement problem was introduced in range https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=range&q=3ddae832bbb71306a574c4e1087de0a0da318966..45bdefccfc532d73bed2f8182543e13a18a7ac1c

Most likely related to bug 75264
