Description: Marking a word or parts of it, and right-clicking the marked text, should show the regular context menu. This is working as intended in Writer. In Calc or any text box (including Writer!), autocorrect always replaces the regular context menu, making regular context options like copy/paste inaccessible through the GUI. A demonstration can be seen in the attached GIF showing the difference between Writer text and text inside a text box. It can be argued that the Writer implementation (outside of text boxes) is not ideal either. Autocorrect was implemented better in Firefox (see attached PNG), where autocorrect actions are added on top of the regular right-click context menu. I did not select an "earliest affected" version for this bug, because it has been present for a long time now. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type a misspelled word in Writer and in Calc or a text box in Writer. 2. Mark the misspelled word. 3. Right-click the marked text. Actual Results: The context menu shows only autocorrect actions. Expected Results: The regular right-click context menu should be shown. Ideally, autocorrect actions should be added to the top of the context menu.
