Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 37578
AutoComplete should still work even if you are typing in front of a comma or other punctuation.

Autocomplete before punctuation. Autocompletion does not work unless the cursor is at the end of a line or there is a space immediately to its right, so you cannot put the cursor at the beginning of a word and type a new word using autocompletion. This is okay except that it does not check for punctuation, so you cannot put the cursor immediately before a comma, period, colon, etc. and type a new word using autocompletion. Also, autocomplete can suggest a word that starts in English characters but ends in Japanese kanji characters, but if you are typing in an English font, the kanji part will show as square error glyphs (corrupted characters known in Japanese as “bakemoji†because there are no corresponding characters in the English font). Not technically a bug, although theoretically it should be smart enough not to do that, especially if you never select its bakemoji suggestion.

change OS Linux -> All
There are two things here, the second you need to file as an RFE in a different issue. The reason this doesn't work is that the autocomplete/correct is checking against a list of words. If what you are type triggers the list it corrects it. At best this would be a feature request because the behavior is as expected. This still happens in 1.9.92.
