Description Galen Currah 2021-10-01 15:47:10 UTC
Description:
When a user changes the capitalization on a selected text, 
the capitalization of non-selected text also changes.

This renders the entire capitalization feature utterly useless,
a feature that users need every time they write or edit a document.

If you limited all case changes to currently selected text, then 
the issue would be resolved, once for all.

Thanks for your wonderful office suite!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with any text. 
2. Change the case of part of the text. 
3. Select or put the cursor in another part of the text. 
4. Press F3 once or more to change the case of the selection.
5. Observe the case of other words in the text change, as well.

Actual Results:
As often as not, the case of non-selected text will also change.

Expected Results:
Only the case of selected text or of a single word ought to change.


Reproducible: Always
