Description: Accidentally, my fingers slipped on my keyboard (I don't know how) and caused a string to get the strikethrough effect. So there's a keyboard equivalent to a dialog option that works even when the dialog is closed. If it's unsupported, please disable it so we don't litter our output with it. Otherwise, please tell us what it is. Steps to Reproduce: Type some text. There is another step, probably some key combination, but I don't know what it is. Actual Results: Accidental strikethrough. Expected Results: No strikethrough unless intended. Reproducible: Didn't try User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I did not reset the UserProfile since I don't know how to check whether it makes a difference, since I don't know what keystroke to test. I didn't find a setting for OpenGL.

I don't find any shortcut which may work to strikethrough in officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu (see https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu?r=ef5133e4). But perhaps I missed something.
I don't see any shortcut assigned to strikethrough by default. Did you set, by any chance, the shortcut to strikethrough in the Customize dialog ?
I wish I had saved the file or taken a screenshot. Tools menu > Customize dialog > Keyboard tab > Shortcut Keys lists, for LibreOffice or Writer, Strikethrough but without a Shortcut Key. I don't customize and hadn't turned it off lately. The list from the link in comment 1 is of accelerators, thus perhaps not of shortcuts, but maybe I don't know how to read that file. Or could it be embedded in the code for Format menu > Character dialog > Font Effects > Strikethrough or in the code for Format menu > Text submenu > Strikethrough? Perhaps it's in the submenu item's code but an error suppresses showing the shortcut. But I don't know much about how LO is written and I'm speculating. When it happened, I was typing a few random characters from the qwerty row and the numerals row of a U.S. keyboard layouot and the strikethrough was a single line which both began and ended in midtext, meaning I had the accident twice. But I don't remember it happening any other time, although I also don't usually slip or type randomly (I write in Writer fairly often). I tested function keys (without Dell's blue Fn function modifier key) but without the effect.
Without knowing how to reproduce this, I don't know what can be done here. Can't help here=>uncc myself.
Nick, I confirm, that there is no keyboard shortcut connected with strikethrough command by default. But I think, it is hardly possible to reproduce the bug for somebody else, if you don't know, what keyboard combination produced the strikethrough. So I set status to NEEDINFO.
Because it's virtually irreproducible and in my experience rare and comments say it hasn't been found in the places where it should be, I'm closing this as an unsolvable mystery. Thanks anyway.
Maybe it happened because of AutoCorrect? In which case you can disable it via Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options... > Options tab > Automatic *bold*, /italic/, -strikeout- and _underline_.
Yes, that's it. Since I was typing randomly including in the numerals keyboard row, I probably typed two separate hyphens then didn't expect to see them in the output (and didn't see them) and so they got swallowed up by AutoCorrect and strikethrough appeared. I don't usually type randomly but I changed AutoCorrect settings anyway. I'll change the status again. Thank you very much.
