Description: in the autocorrect settings, i disabled "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" and deleted "i > I" from the replacement table. now when typing a lowercase "i" by itself it doesn't get capitalized, but when typing out a contraction starting with "i", eg "i'm", it gets autocorrected to "I’m". if i disable the auto-replacement of single quotes to curly quotes or turn off autocorrect while typing, it stops doing this. i've also tried editing the replacement table ("i'm > i'm"), and adding the lowercase versions to the dictionary, but this doesn't fix it, so i think the problem is with the smart quotes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. disable auto-capitalization of sentences and remove "i > I" from autocorrect 2. type the word "i'm" 3. that's all Actual Results: "i'm" is corrected to "I’m" Expected Results: "i'm" should become "i’m", the single quote is converted without capitalizing the "i" Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 25.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e1cf4a87eb02d755bce1a01209907ea5ddc8f069 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
This is intentional for en language locales to follow MSO behavior. You can work round this edit engine function for English [1] by unsetting the Single Quotes Localized Options, or by unchecking the Tools -> AutoCorrect -> While Typing selection. You can also set the paragraph Text Language to None. =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/70088
