Description: Auto-capitalize somehow annoyingly persists after it has been turned off. Pressing Enter to finish editing text in a cell capitalizes the first word, at least the first time you make a change. Changing it again without leaving (to uncapitalize the first word) thankfully does not repeat. Pressing Tab instead of Enter to finish the initial edit does not capitalize the first word! Well now, that's a bug which I call a feature! Steps to Reproduce: Case 1 1. Create a cell which contains "invoice 123 for april" 2. Copy and paste the cell to another location. 3. Edit the copy of the cell, changing 123 to 124 and april to may. 4. Press Enter to finish the edit. The first word becomes Invoice, even though the capitalization feature is unchecked in "Grammar checking" and nothing is checked in "Writing Aids". 5. Edit again, changing Invoice to invoice. Press Enter. Works fine. Case 2 1. Repeat the above, but press the tab key to finish editing. "invoice" remains unchnaged. That's a nice feature. Actual Results: Capitalization of first word changes unexpectedly, and this is sensitive to the keystroke used to exit edit mode. Expected Results: Consistency?

unclear if it's about Tools -> Autocorrect options or grammar chcking : Tools -> Options > Language Settings -> Writing Aids (and which ones are activated?)
(In reply to fpy from comment #1) > unclear if it's about Tools -> Autocorrect options "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" is checked > or grammar chcking : Tools -> Options > Language Settings -> Writing Aids All items in "Options" section are unchecked. I will certainly turn off the Autocorrect option to correct the annoyance. This doesn't change the fact that Autocorrect processing is different when the edit is completed with Enter or Tab. Is this a feature? Or a bug?

If Tools - Autocorrect - Options - Capitalize first letter is checked the invoice is changing to Invoice. After unchecking Tools - Autocorrect - Options - Capitalize first letter, everything is fine.

For me, "invoice" becomes capitalised when I press Space after 123, so Enter is not needed. If I press Enter immediately after typing "invoice 123", "invoice" becomes capitalised. If I press Tab instead of Enter, "invoice" still becomes capitalised. The same is true if I do the "Edit the copy of the cell, changing 123 to 124" test for content where "invoice" is lowercase initially. So I am unable to find steps for reproducing the inconsistency between Enter and Tab.
