Description tuharsky 2004-07-23 10:37:19 UTC

I edited table in Writer. While typing some words into cells, the autocomplete
acted this way:
as soon as it found any similar word, it immediately "completed" the word I was
typing. It even didn't include the last letter (the one that started the
"completion") into the "completed" word, often the letter was nowhere!

The "autocomplete" than dosen't take in decision any other letters. As soon as
it inserts his kinda "completion", he stops autocomplete function and considers
the word "complete".

It seems, that only diacritical letters start the autocompletion madness.

Should I mention, that I see no other problems with diacritical letters. Out of
autocompletion, they work just normally.

reassigned to SBA.

Comment 6 tuharsky 2004-07-23 11:56:12 UTC

The bug is not limited to table, appears in regular text too.

Comment 7 stefan.baltzer 2004-07-26 13:17:10 UTC

SBA->OS: Probably duplicate of issue 27051. Reassigned to OS.

I don't know what diacritical characters are, but I think I am also getting this
with apostrophes.

Type in we've in a document. Verify that it is in your list of autocompletion
words. Then type in we' and the word become weve without any enter to accept the
word. If you delete the we've entry in the autocompletion, the next time you
type we're it is okay, but then it gets re-added to your list and bingo, the
next time you've got weve with only typing we'

I am also posting this on issue 27051.

Comment 9 olivierblanc 2004-08-03 17:43:07 UTC

I am getting the same while typing in french.
for exemple : i am tying to type "deuxiÃ¨me" (second in english)
typing "deux" will propose the word deux[iÃ¨me]. While I am continuing to type
the i and the Ã¨, it will then automatically complete the word to "deuxime"
(removing the beatifull Ã¨ (&egrav;)

I am using version  1.9.m47 on Linux (mandrake 10.0)

Comment 10 stefan.baltzer 2005-06-30 16:59:38 UTC

SBA: PL assured me that this is the same root cause as issue 27051 (with target
OOo 2.0).
There is a workaround:
In a terminal, type "setenv USE_XOPENIM true" before launching the office from
there.

*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 27051 ***

Comment 11 stefan.baltzer 2005-06-30 17:02:12 UTC

SBA: The workaround I mentioned above is for Solaris Sparc.

On LINUX,  type "export USE_XOPENIM true" before launching the office from there.

Closed.
