Description stephan 2021-07-26 15:56:02 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice Writer sometimes auto-completes words that contain ß on its own without a way to prevent that, and erroneously at that.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new document in Writer in German with German dictionary
2. Type the word “Fußgängerzone”
3. Insert a whitespace or a new line and type the word “Fußgängerzone” again.

Actual Results:
Writer auto-completes the word on its own, and erroneously so; as soon as you are typing the ß after “Fu” it will complete it to “Fugängerzone” (i. e. it will omit the ß). You can’t even type “Fußball” because it will always auto-complete to “Fugängerzone”.

Expected Results:
It should only suggest the word for completion (by key command) and not complete it on its own without a way to discard the suggestion.


Reproducible: Always

I can't confirm this with

Version: 7.2.0.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 32efc3b7f3a71cfa6a7fa3f6c208333df48656cc
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Typing "Fuß" autocomplete suggests "Fußgänge" (not common, but O. K.)
Typing "Fußgänger" autocomplete suggests "Fußgängerzone"

Please make sure, that "Fugängerzone" is not part of your list in Tools => AutoCorrect => Autocorrect Options => Word Completion
