Description Mirosław Zalewski 2013-01-04 20:07:06 UTC
Created attachment 72524 [details]
Test document

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached document.
1. Go into Tools → Autocorrect options → Options → check "Remove blank paragraphs". Ensure that both checkboxes are checked by "Correct TWo INitial CApitals" and "Capitalize first letter of every sentence".
3. From menu, Choose Format → AutoCorrect → Apply

Result:
default paragraphs will be removed. Initial capitals and sentences starting with minuscule will not be corrected.

This gives impression that "[M]" autocorrect in Writer is not working consistently. Some options will be applied only for paragraphs with Default style, while others (namely: "Remove blank paragraphs") will be applied for all paragraphs, despite their style.

Obviously these options should work consistently, either only for Default style paragraphs, or for all of them.

I am using Debian testing, amd64, LibreOffice 3.6.4 from Debian (experimental) repository.
Comment 1 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-01-26 13:15:46 UTC
Indeed "Correct TWo INitial CApitals" and "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" do not work from menu, Choose Format → AutoCorrect → Apply

Reproducible with version 4.2.0.3.0+ on Ubuntu 13.10.

Best regards. JBF

This limitation was removed by commit 1cff5c9db7e0d7cf7ae45b306deb963d95926d99
for bug 128192.  Tested with the test document attachment 72524 [details] and

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

The initial capitals are corrected and the first letter of the sentence is capitalized, so closing this ticket as FIXED.
