Description peter.reitinger 2020-02-24 00:59:50 UTC
Description:
At least in German, the autocorrection by default is absolute bullshit (sorry). When I am typing quickly, the result is absolute nonsens because of the many wrong automatic corrections!
It was impossible to switch it off easily. I tried: 
- deactivate Extras/Automatische Rechtschreibprüfung
- deactivate Extras/Autokorrektur/Während der Eingabe

None of the above prevented libre office writer to correct words in my input lines. Why?? I can write on my own, I do not want to be corrected. Thank you! :-)

Actual Results:
Type german text in german LibreOffice Writer and there will be a lot of wrong corrections that maybe make sense SOMETIMES but it is absolutely annoying to undo all of these wrong corrections. It prevents absolutely from quick typing!!!

Expected Results:
As said, many wrong autocorrections without any confirmation of mine


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
No autocorrections by default, only after user choses a menu or whatsoever to make the software correct one!

You can disable auto correction by deselect:
Tools > Auto Correct > When Typing.

Auto correct works in many other languages such as English etc, I don't think it is worth disabling by default? 

Actually for me it really does not matter as I use Simplified Chinese and this feature never work in Chinese language.

Peter, it should indeed solve your problem to deactivate the option in Extras => Autokorrektur => Während der Eingabe. If you only want to disable WordComplete you should try Exras => AutoKorrektur => AutoKorrektur Optionen => Wortergänzung => disable "Wortergänzung aktivieren"

Does this solve your problem? If not, you can use https://ask.libreoffice.org/ for further help.

Your proposal to disable autocorrect by default is a duplicate of bug 59754 and this idea has been rejected.
