Well, the abbreviation has a dot at the end, Writer just turns every character after a dot to uppercase I just checked in MSO 2010 and the behaviour is the same.
I cannot confirm it. The string 'vs.' is included in the exception list of both English(UK) and English(US). @Elmar: Please have a look at Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options, and then tab Exceptions. Select the language of the text, and then look into the upper list 'Abbreviations (no Subsequent Capital)'. Is the sting 'vs.' listed there? I have used Version: 6.2.5.2 (x64) Build ID: 1ec314fa52f458adc18c4f025c545a4e8b22c159 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded for my tests.
Created attachment 156176 [details] tested with different versions I think this is a regression. Tested it with LO v5.4 and it did not capitalise. Then with the repository version (6.0) also worked as it should. The copied the config from .config/libreoffice/4 to .config/libreofficedev/4 and as you can see from the latest attachment, it capitalises.
@Regina vs. isnot in English (UK) it is in English (USA) in the Dev version Have added it into (UK) then works correctly the next letter is not capitalised <It is a vs. b > I see that in LO v5.4 (which isnot DEV) that the vs. is in the exceptions list and when I use English (USA) as the default language it works correctly. Did some checking: I guess it is LibreOfficeDev_6.5.0.0.alpha0_Linux_x86-64_deb_langpack_en-GB which is not populated the abbreviations list? Anyway, that explains it and you can close the issue as NOT A BUG
