Problem description: Greek symbols (αβγδελμ..) converted to big letters (ΑΒΓΔΕΛ...) as automatic capitalization of first letters in sentense. This is sometimes anoying. Yes I could try find these symbols not from Greek letters region in charracter map. Steps to reproduce: 1. Write sentence, at end write point (.) 2. type space ( ) 3. copy "γ" (small gama) 4. type space ( ) Current behavior: γ converted to Γ Expected behavior: Ability to disable Greek letters capitalization, but leave first letter capitalization for general case. Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 3.6.4.3 release
Any feasible use-case for this?
I am confirming this bug. Tested under Crunchbang 11 x86_64 running: - v3.3.4.1 OOO330m19 Build: 401 - v3.4.6.2 OOO340m1 Build: 602 - v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b - v3.6.7.2 Build ID: e183d5b - v4.0.6.2 Build ID: 2e2573268451a50806fcd60ae2d9fe01dd0ce24 - v4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a All versions change γ (U+03b3) to Γ (U+0393) when this is the first character after a full stop and space combination and is followed by a space e.g., "End. γ ". Status set to NEW. Version set to Inherited From OOo. Severity set to enhancement (as this has never existed before). Platform set to All/All. (In reply to comment #1) > Any feasible use-case for this? Mainly in science / mathematics, where commencing a sentence with a symbol is considered OK. I personally find this type of expression inelegant, but the use seems widespread in these domains.

Setting version back from "Inherited From OOo" to what it was prior (for bugs marked enhancement), for QA tracking purposes. My mistake. Apologies.

A workaround is to disable the "Capitalize first letter of every sentence" auto correction option.

Sigh. This seems to introduce another cludge - but why stop at Greek? What if I use Latin "x", "y", "z"? Is using those characters in Math rare? Isn't auto-capitalization of them less annoying? is that case any different? And is introducing inconsistency here justified?...
