I am now using version 7.6.0.3 and the way I can reproduce it, even in safe mode, is to type <at least 3 characters>.<space>8am . For example open a new document and type "Hey. 8am" will get changed to "Hey. 8Am.
Unchecking the box next to "Lightproof grammar checker(English) doesn't actually seem to make any difference.

> Where can I get Lightproof grammar checker?

Don't understand that question, because as far as I can see it's a regular part of LO (at least in Windows version)

Ok, I guess I was testing under Linux. Can't repro on Windows. I also tried activating "Check words with numbers", but no problem.

Able to replicate the issue based on the recent repro steps/comment by steveja 2023-09-16 19, 

I am using Mac OS
Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 56f7684011345957bbf33a7ee678afaf4d2ba333
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 13.5.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx
Locale: en-PH (en_PH.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I dont have the lightproof grammar checker – but i can still replicate the issue. 

The letter beside the number is  capitalized when enter key or space key is pressed after the letters/word input.

- First attempt was successful using the specified data - Hey. 8Am 
- Created a document to test all data wherein the bug could appear.

1. Tested if all the letters after the number will be capitalized. (For the sake of checking if this only happens to the time format.)
Data range from Hey. 8Am to Hey. 8Zm 

2. Replicated in data with End of sentence punctuations -  exclamation point and question mark
ex: hoy! 12Am, hello. 09Abc 

3. Replicated on data with more than 3 character words before the End of sentence punctuations (. ! ?)
ex:
- qwertyuiop! 12345Pm 
- asdfghjklzxcvbnm,qwertyuiop? 12Zz

4. Replicated on data with more than 2 digit number after the  End of sentence punctuations (. ! ?)
ex:
- hey! 12345678909876543256As
- qwertyu? 1234567890987654321234567890987654323456789Bd

5. Replicated on data with more than 2letters at the end of the number
ex:
- hoy! 12Qwerty
- hoy? 45Asdfghhjkl
- pop. 12Xcvbnmasdfghjklqwertyuiop

6. Combination of conditions mentioned above
ex: 
- qwerty! 123456Asdfghjkl
- asdfghjk? 0987654321234567890Asdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnm
- thequickbrownfoxjumpedoverthelazydog. 1234567890Thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog 

Also tried replicating on Microsoft Word Version 16.78 and Google Documents but wasnt able to reproduce it there.
