[Bug 119407] New: Format - Change case - sentence case not working
properly
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119407
Priority: P3
Bug ID: 119407
Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
Summary: Format - Change case - sentence case not working
properly
Severity: normal
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Application
OS: All
Reporter: florisv59@gmail.com
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: OOo 3.4 Beta
Component: formatting
Product: word processor
When a block of all lower case text is selected and you apply Format - Change
Case - Sentence case, the first word of each paragraph will be capitalised, but
the first word after a full stop won't. It seems to work fine in text with all
caps.
When you paste the above paragraph in a Writer document, apply all caps, then
apply all lower case, then apply Sentence case, the result is:
"When a block of all lower case text is selected and you apply format - change
case - sentence case, the first word of each paragraph will be capitalised, but
the first word after a full stop won't. it seems to work fine in text with all

Confirmed by several users in the community forum (see
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=54055&p=236127#p236127
).
Note that LibreOffice shows the same behaviour.

Still around in 4.1.1. Including the side effect of modifying unselected text.
In my view, that IS a critical issue - it means that text may be modified
without its being noticed, thereby introducing errors that remain unnoticed.
You don't want errors in business letters for instance. It means that an entire
paragraph needs to be proofread every time Sentence case is applied to a part
of it, making it a very expensive feature.

following method of break iterator from ICU ignores it in
BreakIterator_Unicode::endOfSentence,
i18npool/source/breakiterator/breakiterator_unicode.cxx.
So, this problem happens in the all functions that uses css.i18n.BreakIterator
service
(maybe CJK do not have it, but I have not checked).

There is another odd behavior with Sentence Case: it changes text that is not
selected.
Again not a critical problem, but modifying text that is not selected is
somewhat more serious, I think.
For example, copy/paste the following as unformatted text in a Writer document:
One AC said dig! dig! dig!
Select "dig! dig! dig!"
Format > Change case > Sentence Case
The result is:
One ac said: dig! Dig! Dig!
** The "AC" is changed to "ac" even though it was NOT selected. **
I get the same result in 3.4.1 or 4.0, and the same result no matter on/off
setting for either:
AutoCorrect > While Typing
AutoCorrect Options > Options > Correct two initial capitals
It seems that the sentence case operation is being applied to the whole
paragraph instead of the selection only.
This seems so closely related I add it here as a comment, but if a separate
issue would be helpful, I can start a new one.
