Autocomplete does not preserve case
Last modified: 2010-11-10 22:55:12 UTC
Autocompletion in Calc suggests words previously typed in the same column. 1. Type "Fred" in cell A1. 2. Type "f" (lowercase) in cell A2. 3. A completion to "fred" (lowercase) is suggested 4. Press Enter: "fred" (lowercase) appears in A2. Expected result: when the user accept the suggestion, change the case so that the cell content exactly matches the chosen value (in this case, "Fred"). If I want to use the same word I typed above and I wrote that word with a capital letter, I expect Autocomplete to change the case so that the two words match.
Hi, could not reproduce using OOo1.9.113. maybe you have swutched off Capitalize first letter of sentence under tools autocorrect options. Frank

Reopening as it is still there in a default install of m113. The described situation ("fred" instead of "Fred") still happens, and Capitalize first letter is checked. By the way, it's not a matter of capitalizing the first letter. Here's a more insightful example (mind the case of letters): 1. Type "GNU/Linux" in cell B1. 2. Type "gn" (lowercase) in cell B2. 3. A completion to "gnU/Linux" is suggested 4. Press Enter Actual result: "gnU/Linux" appears in B2. Expected result: "GNU/Linux" appears in B2. Why do I expect "GNU/Linux" to appear? Because if I accept the autocompletion, I expect the word to appear *exactly* as the one I had typed before, especially in a Calc document.
Hi, autoinput gives you the choice to decide wether you would like it as written before, or as your example showed as small gnU. So here colides to features. Converting the input to the previous one with changing the capitalization would never give you the possibility to write it in a different way. So I close this as invalid. Frank
