Description Rod 2023-08-30 02:42:30 UTC
Description:
I was proofreading a letter I wrote in Writer and found 2 words that Writer seems to have "split" consistently throughout the letter, for example, the name "Pattison" became consistently "Patti son" and "i.e.," became consistently "ire.,"  When I found the first occurrence, I thought it was my error, but, when I found this consistently throughout the letter, I knew the error was not mine, but that Writer must have changed all occurrences at some point unbeknownst to me.  I've used Writer for years and have never seen this happen before. Has this been reported before by anyone?

Steps to Reproduce:

Rod, thank you for reporting the bug. It seems, you are using an old version of LO. Could you please retest with acutal version LO 7.6? If the bug is still present, please also try in safe mode (Help -> Restart in SafeMode).
