Description jchwenger 2015-03-22 19:29:14 UTC
Hi everyone,

I'm using LibreOffice writer 4.4.1.2, with Windows 7.

I have been dealing with AutoCorrect quite a bit these past few days, trying to fix it, as well as switching some options often (ticking on/off the autocapitalisation for new sentences for instance), and I've noticed something missing: it's not possible to reach it using the alt+letter shortcut. You start with alt+t for tools, and then 'a', which first leads you to 'Automatic Spell Checking', then to 'Address Book Source', but then, instead of going for 'Autocorrect' (despite the A underlined) it goes back to the 'Automatic Spell Checking'.

Best,
Jeremie

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.0.5 or 5.1.2 https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

LO 5.1.2.2 Windows 7
1. Autocorrect is now with underlined 'e' and alt-t, alt-e works as expected.
2. Only one 'a' for Automatic Spell Checking, and alt-t, alt-a works as expected.
3. Address book source no longer appears in Tools menu.
