Description SY 2024-06-15 18:51:35 UTC
Description:
When LibreOffice suggests an autocompletion, any action except deleting the suggested text accepts the suggestion.  This is a non-standard, unexpected, and obtrusive behavior on an otherwise useful feature.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start typing a word or phrase that is in the autocomplete dictionary.
2.Press escape OR navigate to a different line the document using the mouse or keyboard (e.g. home or end keys).

Actual Results:
Autocomplete suggestion is automatically accepted without pressing tab or enter.

Expected Results:
Autocomplete suggestion is canceled, leaving only what the user actually typed.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
As far as I'm aware, this happens on all versions of LibreOffice.  Reproduced on 24.2.3.2 in Writer and Calc.

Have you tried with undo? [Ctrl+Z]

Yes, it doesn't do anything in Calc.  I realized that the autocomplete for Calc is a different feature called Autoinput and have updated the bug title accordingly.

I have looked at that.  I though maybe F2 would do something, but all it does is accept the autoinput (like any other action).
