Description Peter Wicker 2023-11-10 10:42:54 UTC
Created attachment 190780 [details]
Screenshot on option dialog of calc with german localization.

When a text is entered into a cell starting in minor case, it is changed automatically to uppercase.
The adjustment in Extras however reads "Großgeschriebene Wörter prüfen" which actually means just checking.
But there is no user-feedback about the check-results, instead, the cell content is just changed after enter, without any consent given.
You should either
- Change the behaviour when entering text, or
- Change the descriptive text of the option. 
So that they fit together.
Anyway i don't like the fact that per default so many options are activated that lead to automatically made changes on the cell content i have entered.

BR,
Peter Wicker

You probably missed to uncheck Tools -> AutoCorrect Options..., tab Options, "Capitalize first letter of every sentence".

Peter, can you let us know of Eike's comment helps?
Please also test with our latest release, 7.6.3 or above.
As a default, even with the "Capitalize first letter" autocorrect option on, it does not capitalise the first letter of a word entered in a cell. It does however capitalise after a full stop.
If you still reproduce the issue, please share which language the cell is using, and some words to use as an example.
