Issue 5802

Hi, 
 
MySpell does not have anything to do with auto-capitalization and 
the undo buffer so this issue is not mine (at least I don't think it 
does  ...  :-) 
 
So Thomas can you look at this issue and decide whether or not it is 
an sw issue or it is really something lingucomponent is doing wrong. 
 
Thanks, 
 
Kevin

I think I know what you mean, but it seems to undo just fine for me.
If I enter something like "Word. word.", then the second "word" will
be capitalized when I enter the full stop. If I then select undo (or
the undo button, or Ctrl-Z), word will be in small letters again, just
as it was typed in.

This is what you meant, isn't it?


dvo->khendricks: This would indeed be an enhancement of the undo
functionality, not of lingucomponent. 

In Calc or Writer:

enter in on a blank line (or cell A1):
this is a test

this gets changed to This and I can not undue the capitalization of T

Hmmm... still works for me!

In a spanking new document, I enter:
this [this is changed to This] is a test

When I press Ctrl-Z _when_the_text_is_changed_, then 'This' reverts to
'this' again.

If I just type 'this is a test', then the undo stack looks as follows:
   Insert 'test'
   Insert ' '
   Insert 'a'
   Insert ' '
   Insert 'is' 
   AutoCorrect 't'->'T'
   Insert ' '
   Insert 'this'
You can verify this by holding the mouse button down on the 'undo'
button in the tool bar. Actually, it only displays the action, and not
the details. Does it look the same in your version? 

If so, I'm fairly certain that doing undo when AutoCorrect kicks in
would have reverted to a small t...

Ah, it's a Calc thing then. 
I suppose then we can all point and laugh at Niklas... :-)

[changed component + summary; strangely, I can't change the
subcomponent... ]

The current handling of cell input is:
When Enter is pressed (or the cursor moved to a different cell), all
of the editing within the cell, with the individual undo actions for
typing, deleting, formatting, and AutoCorrect, is discarded, and the
whole of the new cell content is used to replace the old content,
resulting in one single undo action for the cell (and one
recalculation, and one recorded change if change tracking is active).
Usually this is the desired behavior, and I'm not sure if it should be
changed. Maybe Falko has an idea.

I don't think that we cxan compare Writer and Calc here but:
I still think we should rework the AutoCorrct mechanismn in Calc.

Title changed:
Re-work the AutoCompletion logic in Calc.
It must be possible to type in "Test" as well as "test" in two cells
without having the AutoCompletion to be turned of.

.

enhanced summary, set keywords and reassigned issue according to RFE process

This ancient issue has a greater importance today, since now Autocorrect is
turned on by default in Calc. This actually hindered our ability to test the
case-sensitive sort in Calc during the Italian QA tests on OOo 2.0.1-RC4.

It is incorrect to say that OOo and MS Excel behave the same way today. MS Excel
users will just type the second "test", see it change automatically to "Test",
and undo the case change with CTRL-Z.

Pressing CTRL-Z in Calc after typing a single word in a cell (quite common)
results in all the typing (not just Autocorrect) undone, see comments in issue
23612 about this.
