Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 107546
Undo Order of Auto Correction inconsistent
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:43:37 UTC
First of all, Open Office is a wonderful project. It helps me much! But sometimes it also make me mad. One of the problem is its auto correction function. I really suggest to set the undo function into multiple steps when auto correction is involved, and the auto correction step MUST happen the latest. The situation is as follows: In Writer, I enter a URL and press enter to start a new line. The URL is automatically changed into a hyperlink. However I don't want it, I would like the URL be plain text. Then I press ctrl-Z. The hyperlink disappears but the new line is also deleted!! I press enter again, the hyperlink appear again. I cannot kill the hyperlink only without killing my precious new line!! The situation is worse in Calc. I typed "IT..." in a cell. As long as I leave the sell, the initial "IT", standing for Infomation Technology, deterministically become "It". I didn't find how to stop it without turning off the auto correction. There could be many other similar cases. **NOTE** This phenomenon happens when "IT" is immediately followed by Asian characters. If "IT" is followed by a space, it does not change. So, what I seriously suggest is to enable the Undo command to remove effect of the auto correction ONLY WITHOUT removing the work that triggered the auto correction. Comprehension and improvements from the project teams will be highly appreciated! Thank you!!
NOT Reproducible with "Ooo 3.1.1 WIN XP DE-multilingual version English UI activated [OOO310m19 (Build 9420)]"! 0. Open new document (Calc or WRITER, does not matter) 1. Activate Autocorrect (all options) 2. insert Text "http://de.openoffice.org/doc/" 3. Press <space>, hyperlink will be added to text 4. press 'undo' button hyperlink will be removed, but not the blank after the hyperlink text, so that the hyperlink will not reappear when you continue typing text. Same 12. Type "Here are Accesories" 13. Press <space>, word "Accesories" will be modified to "Accesories" 14. press 'undo' button word will be modified back to "Accesories", the blank after the word remains, so that the modification will not reappear when you continue typing text. But indeed, reproducible with "Ooo 3.1.1 WIN XP DE-multilingual version English UI activated [OOO310m19 (Build 9420)]": 20. go to CALC document with activated Autocorrect (all options) 22. insert Text "http://de.openoffice.org/doc/" 23. Press <Tab>, hyperlink will be added to text, cell cursor moves to next cell 24. press 'undo' button complete cell contents will be removed Same inconsitence in WRITER: you can eliminate hyperlink when you typed <tab> or <shift>+<enter>, but not when you typed <enter> after hyperlinkk text (as reported) This one might be a DUP of Issue 89604 (or vice versa ...)
