Description Urmas 2011-08-17 19:27:23 UTC
Apply sentence case to text: "...ONE ...TWO THREE"

Result: "...ONE ...TWO Three"
Expected: "...One ...two three"
Comment 1 Jeffrey 2011-08-20 07:55:28 UTC
Confirmed for LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:103) on OpenSuse Linux.

This is likely because Libreoffice does not recognize the ellipsis character "..." and interprets them as three period marks. So the setences are divided into . | . | .ONE | . | . | . | TWO THREE. TWO THREE is in the last sentence, and since LO does not autocorrect words in all capital cases, the result you see happens.

Solution: have LO writer recognize ellipsis is not the same as the period, which marks the sentence.

I removed bug 41189 from the See Also field, because that issue seems completely unrelated to this one.

I added bug 116718 to See Also, because both that one and this one are a matter of ICU sentence break rules.

Dear Urmas,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
