According to bug 46383, comment 6 I enable CapsLock on keyboard and type aSDF. When I press space, CapsLock disables automatically and aSDF transforms to Asdf. 1. In Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options - Options tab, disable all [M] options and [T] options, except for "Correct accidental use for cAPS LOCK key" 2. Make sure "While Typing" is enabled in Tools > AutoCorrect > While Typing 3. Enable CAPS LOCK. 4. Use Default Paragraph Style (for safety's sake) 5. Enter: aSDF space (That is, press Shift key and enter a, then release Shift key and enter "sdf" and then space). Actual result: Nothing happens. Expected result: as described above. Possibly a regression. Tested with: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 86c8c775bbefe333d684e12c99855a3c1de68051 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_DK); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Not documented in localhelp (and has survived for at least 9 years with no bug report about that).

Works in Calc 1. Enable CapsLock 2. Select a cell in Calc 3. type aSDF. (press Shift key and enter a, then release Shift key and enter "sdf" and then space) Result: CapsLock is disabled, aSDF transforms to Asdf. Works in Draw and Impress 1. enable CapsLock 2. Make a textbox and type aSDF. But does not work (afaict) in Writer. Maybe first appeared in LO 3.4. https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/source/tabpages/autocdlg.cxx?r=2554b311
Works in Writer. (used Safe Mode to reset my settings and user interface modifications to factory settings -- after which no problem). Will convert this to a Documentation bug.
