Description ATI 2022-06-22 14:07:20 UTC
Description:
In a document with the language "German Switzerland":

Despite deleting the 2 (yes, two) auto correction rules to replace three dots "..." with an Ellipsis single character "…"

LibreOffice still replaces them!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the autocorrection table under Language "German Switzerland": Mark the auto correction entry for the Ellipsis & press DELETE & then OK
   First entry (:...:   …)
   Second entry (.*...  …)


2. In a document with the Language "German Switzerland" type at least three dots

Actual Results:
The typed "..." are still automatically replaced by the typographical single character "…" Ellipsis

Expected Results:
The typed "..." remain unchanged (3 dots)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Comment 1 Rafael Lima 2022-06-22 17:47:37 UTC
Can you please try in a more recent version of LibreOffice?

LO 6.4 has already reached end-of-life and even if this bug gets fixed, it won't be backported to LO 6.4.

We are currently in version 7.3.4

Comment 3 ATI 2023-01-04 08:41:58 UTC
I have tested again under Version 7.3.7.2
and the bug has been fixed.

(After deleting the two auto correct entries, three dots are no longer replaced with the elipsis-sign, as expected.)
