Description: Sometimes when pressing Enter/Return to create a new line, auto-correct kicks in and changes the capitalization of the word, according to the defined set of rules. So if I start a new line, type "intentionally-lowercase" and press Enter, it gets corrected to "Intentionally-Lowercase". When I then press ctrl+z, the word gets reverted to original spelling, but the newly entered newline is deleted. So if I then go to the end of the line and press Enter again... the autocorrect is applied again and the first letter is changed to a capital letter. So the user is stuck in a frustrating loop. Note that the behavior for entering a newline is different from the behavior when pressing the spacebar. If I start a line with "intentionally-lowercase" and then press Space, it adds a space and applies autocorrect. I can then press ctrl+z and it only undoes the autocorrect, keeping the space that I've entered, so I can move on with editing the document. There's an unintuitive difference in behavior then: when pressing Space, autocorrect is treated as a separate step that can be undone. When pressing Enter, the newline and autocorrect are treated as one and can only be undone as a whole, leading to confusion. I personally thing the behavior that's applied when pressing Space is more intuitive and it would be great if the same behavior was applied when pressing Enter Steps to Reproduce: 1. In a new line, write a word starting with a lowercase letter 2. Press Enter 3. The word is now capitalized 4. Press ctrl+z Actual Results: The word is no longer capitalized, but the newline is gone Expected Results: The word is no longer capitalized, but the newline is still there and the cursor doesn't change position Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 25.2.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 520(Build:2) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US 25.2.2-1 Calc: threaded

Nicely written bug report! Thanks. repro in OOo 3.3 (but in that case the first undo removes the newline, and the second undo removes the autocorrection). The two were separate until 6.2 commit 391134e4cc0cf444ac50c6df02073de57ad9c466 Author: Nickson Thanda on Fri Jun 22 04:59:16 2018 +0100 tdf#51223 can now undo auto-capitalise with enter So the request is that the undo be split into two pieces again, and that the order be switched around. (makes good sense, but probably tricky...)
