Description discoleo 2008-11-30 18:40:48 UTC
Often OOo programs wrongly apply some autofrmatting, e.g. they create a bullet
when hitting enter after a line that starts with a number or with '*'.

When the user UNDO's this auto-formatting, OOo shall remember this action and
should NOT attempt to auto-format the next time the user hits enter. A classic
example is:
* ...some...text <ENTER>
=> will be auto-formatted to BULLET
=> UNDO
=> again ENTER, to leave an empty-line
=> OOo auto-formats AGAIN to bullet

The second auto-format is superfluous, because OOo knows now that the user does
NOT want to auto-format this entry. [This is unknown during the first instance.]

Desired action: OOo shall invisibly mark the specific text as
NON-Autoformattable. When the user repeats the action, the auto-formatting shall
be disabled.

To give another example:
- type in Writer:
1. We do NOT want this to be a bullet <HIT ENTER>

This becomes a bullet:
  1. We do NOT ...

Now select UNDO. The bullet is undone:
1. We do NOT ...
<- CURSOR IS HERE. HIT AGAIN ENTER ON THE BLANK LINE.

The first line gets again a bullet.
  1. We do NOT ...

The second time the line is bulleted should NOT happen, because OOo knows now
that this is NOT a bullet.
