Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 77763
Can not edit contents capitalization when AutoInput is on
Last modified: 2013-11-11 20:13:58 UTC
When Tools.Cell-Contents.AutoInput is on, If there are existing cells with contents, when I attempt to change the capitalization, it reverts after pressing Enter. To reproduce, open a spreadsheet, Turn on AutoInput, type into the first cell: "sent" then type "Sent" into the second cell it reverts to "sent" Even if I turn off AutoInput, and fill A1 with "sent" and A2 with "Sent", then turn on AutoInput, and go to A3, and type "sen" and see "sent" suggested on screen, and press enter, it chooses to change it to "Sent". With Tools.AutoInput on, I can understand why it is "helping", But, when I edit the cell, I am unable to Force the contents without turning off AutoInput. I suggest the behavior I would expect, is for OO to accept my edits, especially when that word is already present elsewhere. Perhaps the lookup table is not case sensitive? Or more importantly, the outcome is not rigid with the lookup table. It should accept the case sensitivity if I type it. and especially if it shows one thing, I press Enter, it should not change it at that late date.
Workaround: Type in another column and then paste over. AutoInput does not operate on clipboard entry. There's a few other AutoInput case sensitivity issues: Cannot enter case-varying 2 letter "words" in column http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=60144 AutoInput does not honour reproduce case of previous entry http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=56869 AutoInput: Capital letter attribute not copied when AutoSpellCheck is on http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=82053
