Description NarayanAras 2025-08-16 04:28:49 UTC
Description:
If we have selected numbered or bullet list, Writer cannot change its case to "Sentence case". The SHFT+F3 command cycles through the other cases (ALLCAPS, Each word capitalized, all lowercase).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select multiple items in a bullet list or numbered list
2.Press SHFT+F3. Repeat.

Actual Results:
The command applies all cases (ALLCAPS, Each Word Capitalized, all lowercase), EXCEPT the Sentence case.

Expected Results:
Sentence case should be included in the cycle.



Reproducible: Always
