Description Óvári 2015-11-05 00:09:02 UTC 
1. Using the example in the 5.0 release notes
    :alpha::<=::sum::Phi::_i:
incorrectly capitalizes the first character
    Α≤∑Φᵢ
not
    α≤∑Φ
when it is first typed in a blank document.

2. It also produces the incorrect output if any combination of the characters before it include (please note this list is not extensive):
a) white space (Space-bar);
b) paragraph (Enter);
c) column break (Ctrl+Shift+Enter); and
d) page break (Ctrl+Enter).

3. However, if the sequence has any character before it not shown in 2, the correct output is given.

4. Emoji and in-word replacement support example for multiple replacements:
    :alpha::<=::sum::Phi::_i: → α≤∑Φᵢ

Capitalization works correctly in this case, Greek capital alpha is similar to the Latin one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha.

You can switch off the automatic capitalization of the sentence starting letters in the Tools/Autocorrect menu.

(A possible problem here, that it's not possible to use Ctrl-Z to get the small Greek letter, but this is true for all autoreplacement texts in sentence starting positions.)
