Description Nicholas van Oudtshoorn 2022-03-29 06:05:41 UTC
I use a lot of bullets, and find being able to type * for a bullet essential. Recently, the autocorrect has stopped working on daily builds. 

Expected behaviour: 
* Turn the option to replace bullets with on in Autocorrect options. (Actually, I would expect this to default on, but it doesn't!)
* Type a line starting with and asterisk - eg: "* This is a test"
* Upon pressing enter, the line should convert to an unordered list item. (Actually, I would expect this to autocorrect before pressing enter, as happens in MSO)

Actual behaviour: 
* The line is left unchanged when pressing enter.

Nicholas, which autocorrect option have you enabled?

Also, have you checked with a newer version since?

Autocorrect options

Still an issue for me, using the KF5 (KDE) UI, on the latest nightly.

I have the "Replace bullets with: * option selected, as shown in the attached screenshot.

The option you need to activate is

Bulleted and numbered lists. Bullet symbol

The difference is that "Replace bullets with" only works when modifying existing text while "Bulleted and numbered lists..." only works when typing.
