Description: This behavior perverts the meaning of the enter key. In my case it led to a Kafka-esque struggle to keep an unusual (but for my purposes correct) spelling in a cell. Granted that space key or punctuation keys can trigger auto correction, the enter key never should. It means, "I am fine with this, enter this please". This appears to be not a bug in the narrower sense, as Libre Office is arguably doing what devs intended. But the intention is mistaken. It can be worked around by making the edit of a different word or so in the same cell the last thing one does before hitting enter. But not always is a different word there, and users cannot always monitor for random false corrections every time they type and enter contents. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure spell check / correction is on 2. Type something that gets corrected, e.g. word with 2 capital letters at the beginning or lowercase word after period and space 3. Hit enter Actual Results: Words with double uppercase letters are changed to one uppercase; lowercase letters after period and space are changed to uppercase. Generally: supposed corrections are done upon hitting enter. Expected Results: At least (and arguably only) upon hitting enter, no spell correction should be done. Enter places the responsibility for spelling with the user.

(In reply to Andreas from comment #0) > Expected Results: > At least (and arguably only) upon hitting enter, no spell correction should > be done. Enter places the responsibility for spelling with the user. Many users likely want to have their autocorrection rules applied after pressing enter, there's no reason they might be less likely to want to fix a typo (e.g. double capital) or apply a premeditated rule (e.g. "->" replaced by "→") or have an essential tool like URL recognition apply when pressing Enter. In your opinion, what would then be the user experience of users wanting those rules to apply every time they enter data into a cell? Press Space, Backspace, Enter? _Maybe_ one could consider a setting that allows _not_ applying autocorrect on pressing Enter. Workarounds: - turn rules off (the ones you never want to apply); - Ctrl + Z after a rule is applied when you don't want it to. Are those not sufficient?
