Description: I write "-" Libre changes it to a raised "_" a character I can't duplicate on my keyboard. Sometimes, it will put the blue tilde under it and I click ignore it but it changes it any way. I don't appreciate this kind of help. It may have some practical purpose I am not aware of but I really don't care. I want this abhorrent behavior stopped. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2.type "Over the side 13’ - 8”" 3. Actual Results: "Over the side 13’ – 8”" Expected Results: "Over the side 13’ - 8”" not "Over the side 13’ – 8”" Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Type and print what I want not what someone else decides I should have wanted.
As noted in the ASK thread, you can disable the replacement from Tools -> AutoCorrect Options -> Options tab and uncheck the "Replace dashes". That is an EN DASH character (U+2013), and will assume your issue is with the Calc module, where Non-numeric/Non-formula text strings are parsed by the edit shell autocorrection. The U+002D is converted to U+2013 by default as it is problematic to leave it as the minus operator. If really preferred, the autocorrection can be reverted by an immediate <Ctr>+Z leaving the default behavior in place. Otherwise, you can input the EN DASH directly, or any other Unicode glyph from keyboard by typing U+2013 and with cursor after the 3--entering the <Atl>+X toggle command.
