Description studalk 2005-03-19 10:21:22 UTC 
Problem: The autocorrection does not work with special characters in OO2.0Beta
(1.9.79, german version).

Step by step instructions:

1. Open new writer document
2. Insert special character: Insert->"special character"
3. Choose the greek letter lower case alpha
4. Go back to the document and mark the inserted character
5. Now open the autocorrection dialog with Extras->Autocorrection
6. The alpha is now shown in the "replace with" field (german: Ersetzen durch).
7. Now type %alpha in the field, which defines what should be replaced(german:
kürzel, don't know the english name) 
8. Now create the replacement rule by hitting button "new"
9. Click button ok to release the autocorrection dialog
10. Enter %alpha in the document and ....
11. nothing happens <- that's the bug

The bug has already been confirmed on the german mailing list with version 1.9.84.

original summary: "autocorrection does not work with special (greek) characters"

confirming (m92 on linux), but not related to greek characters. It is impossible
to add working entries to the autocorrect list unless one checks "text only"

When trying this on linux, make sure to make the autocorrect file writable (see
issue 45857)

To reproduce:
0) type in some characters
1) select the characters
2) Launch Tools|AutoCorrect..
   -> the box [ ] text only is unchecked
3) type something in the abbr.-box and add the entry
   -> the entry is added to the list.
4) Dismiss the dialog (with OK) and launch it again
   -> the entry has beed set to replace with " " (replace with space) and
      the replacement doesn't work

Now do the same, except this time you check "[x] text only"

-> now the entry keeps the correct value and works as expected.

regression since this works in OOo 1.1.x

On Linux the acor_*.dat file in the user tree is still (m94) readonly although
