Description JoJo Tuinstra 2023-03-07 17:09:36 UTC
Description:
I try to add new pairs of text > corrected to my autocorrect settings, but as soon as I do that, though the autocorr file works admirably with a fresh user profile, I need to delete my entire user profile/sometimes even the entire autocorr presets folder (as I had to today) under share for any of my autocorrect at all to work. Note that unmodified autocorrect files (built-in English) not affected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to modify custom autocorr
2. User profile corrupted
3. Curse at the gods, try implanting the new autocorr file which will be fine in your Google copy of a clean user profile overwriting old autocorr.dat, download the user profile with the new autocorr.dat, overwrite the old user profile with the new which usually does work, doesn't, repeat steps with older versions of autocorr.dat and increasing chagrin, last-ditch delete the preset autocorr in share in case of a conflict, redownload the clean user profile with latest autocorr.dat
4. yay you fixed it but it took half an hour to an hour times ~four less severe but still troublesome past repeats of the issue. you are in linguistics and you have a worksheet due Thursday, no job but a full course load + obligations

Actual Results:

Could you please provide:

Sorry for the wait, just decided to take another look at this.

CORRECTION: Autocorrect appears to only break on [All], which I use because I need to have corrections work for many separate languages.

Notes:
Autocorrect for [All]:
1. does not work right away with clean install
2. after program reboot
3. or after resetting user profile
4. deleted Program Files>LibreOffice>share>autocorr, autotext, filters, extensions, gallery – now works
5. autocorr restored, failure
6. autocorr causes autocorrect failure in [All], after deleting works fine

PLUS
7. upon opening any autocorr window into [All], user immediately corrupted, must reinstall user to use autocorrections in [All]

Thank you JoJo, that makes it a duplicate of bug 141773, as I understand it.
