Thank you for reporting this issue!

Marking as: New (confirmed) Minor - doesn't prevent high quality work but slows it down Low - default for minor bugs, seems appropriate + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free.

Additional Information: This problem is text language Autocorrect related, reproducible for me in English and French texts, I do not know whether also other languages use superscript for ordinal numbers. Problem is limited to <Enter> after the ordinal number, in Writer works fine if you simply type a space or even after <Shift+Enter> or <Control+Enter> Not only Writer is affected, same in Calc with <Control+Enter> and Draw (and so probably Impress), might also appear in Base. Because of unknown reasons this Autocorrect for ordinals does not work for me with 3.6 before 3.6.6, so I can't test where this problem appeared. Still worked fine with server installation of "LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit): <Enter> directly behind ordinal makes "th" of "7th" superscript, but next behind <Enter> will be continued with normal character position. So REGRESSION With "Apply while typing disabled Text after an "17th<Enter>" will stay normal. But if you have a document only with "17th<Enter><Enter><Enter><Enter><Enter><Enter>", all <Enter> will be removed when I do menu 'Format -> Autocorrect -> Apply' what applies superscript to "th"; afterwards caret flashes behind "17^th" BTW, the <Enter>-deletion also happens in 3.5, and after an Enter then the superscript will be continued, what ever that might mean. @Caolán: I saw your fix for "Bug 38242 - format ordinal number suffix not auto-correcting", may be you can also help here? Or is this problem more related to Localization?
bibisect gives a range of 43c7830b03d141ae11d8617c0fdabefa32dd243c..ce97851773a06103504972eb2771eecd7dd81e36 which is unfortunately a very big range
As per Comment 3 this was already in 3.6.0 release, so no minor release regression.
on the other hand it seems to have gotten fixed recently during the range 9c42545be17b44d3af9aa4b7efa35c5121310e4a..d74323815aec2abb25eae026052651ceec7e372a
aha, this was fixed by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=c69325ea81e3fce6e935c63ba00dfad2a1e74c4f which was a little surprising to me, but a good result.
