Description László Németh 2022-10-04 10:34:28 UTC
Description:
Menu and dialog window titles use mixed typography:

– typewriter and typographical apostrophes, for example 

Don't shift

but

Do_n’t Save;

– ASCII and Unicode quotation marks, for example

Use '%ENGLISHUSLOCALE'”

but

format “%FORMATNAME”;

– mixed title case, for example “Read-Only”, but “User-defined Index”;

– incomplete title case, for example “ends” in “Straight Connector ends with Arrow”.

Steps to Reproduce:
Check all menu and dialog window titles

Actual Results:
Mixed typography

Expected Results:
Support Unicode apostrophes and quotation marks, unified title case, e.g. capitalization from 4 (or 5) letters in title case titles, capitalization after dashes


Reproducible: Always
