Description Márcio Sena 2021-06-11 13:46:03 UTC
Description:
When I turn off the Ellipsis [Reticências] option at "Tools [Ferramentas]> Options [Opções]> Language Settings [Configurações de Idioma]>Portuguese sentence checking [Verificação Gramatical (Português)]" and click on "Apply" and "OK" it does nothing and, if I access the same menu again immediately after, the Ellipsis option is turned on again.I use the Brazilian Portuguese translation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access Tools [Ferramentas]> Options [Opções]> Language Settings [Configurações de Idioma]>Portuguese sentence checking [Verificação Gramatical (Português)].
2. Uncheck "Ellipsis [Reticências]".
3. Click on "Apply" and "Ok".
4. Type a line of dots.

Actual Results:
The dots should not be replaced by the ellipsis symbol, but they are.

Expected Results:
The dots should remain as regular dots.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The menu where the Ellipsis option can be unchecked is called "Portuguese sentence checking [Verificação Gramatical (Português)]", not "Brazilian Portuguese sentence checking", but I don't believe the problem to be that the option only applies to European Portuguese.

Not happening in the grammar checker.

Rather, there is an autocorrect table entry ".*..." that will replace groupings of three dots (Unicode U+002E) with the ellipsis (Unicode U+2026) that wouuld interfere with the text input, and I guess the grammar checker.

Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrect Options on the 'Replace' tab.

Select and 'Delete' it. Then check if you get the input needed.

Thank you very much. It worked perfectly.
