Description Ciprian Trofin 2020-05-27 08:23:31 UTC 
Description:
Writer - Format (menu) - Text - Cycle Case results in changing the case of wrong (unselected) text.

System:

Version: 6.4.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
CPU threads: 6; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Also tested on 6.3.5

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type text - e.q. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
2. select the "consectetur" word and use Format - Text - Cycle Case command (repeatedly) until is uppercased (CONSECTETUR) - the new text is now Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, CONSECTETUR adipiscing elit.
3. select the word "dolor" and use (repeatedly) Format - Text - Cycle Case command. The word will change case (dolor / Dolor / DOLOR) but eventually the previous word (CONSECTETUR) will return to lowercase.

Actual Results:
n/a

Expected Results:
The Format - Text - Cycle Case command should opperate only on selected word.


Reproducible: Always

Sorry, indeed, I could reproduce this with exact repeating the steps.

I can confirm the problem also occurs on MacOS (10.3.6) on 6.3.5 and 6.3.6 but also on 7.0.0 Beta 1.

This is a duplicate, I'll just copy Stuart's explanation in bug 138611 comment 1:

--- 8< ---

The cycle case transliterations (<Shift>+F3) apply to selection, or if no selection to current word at the edit cursor. Except for the Sentence case which remains borken -- bug 49033 and always applies to the the full text run of a sentence.

It was put into the cycle case for bug 116315, but its behavior needs to be tweaked--for no selection and with selection. 

Meanwhile need to pay attention when using the cycle case--it will clobber adjacent words as described. 

Or, just use the individual controls on the Format -> Text menu, or set a keyboard shortcut in the Customize dialog.
