--- Comment #4 from Beverly Emmons <be...@asu.edu> ---
I have reproduced the issue in both Russian and in English (USA). After typing
an acronym and then typing the next word, pressing space automatically
capitalizes the word following the acronym.

In addition, it appears that the writer does not honor the abbreviations list
under tools -> Autocorrect -> Autocorrect options. Typing one of the accepted
abbreviations (like acct. which is listed) and then typing another word and
hitting the spacebar automatically capitalizes the following word. Ex: “Hello I
am referencing my acct. And…” where the “a” in “and” was automatically
capitalized.

Adding your own abbreviations to this list does not do any good, either, as the
next word following the abbreviation is still auto-capitalized.

I am using OpenOffice Writer 4.1.2. Build information: AOO412m3(Build:9782)  - 
Rev. 1709696
2015-10-21 09:36:46 (Wed, 21 Oct 2015) on MacOS 10.11.6 El Capitan.

The steps I followed are detailed below:

1. Opened a new Writer document. Went to Tools -> Language -> For all text ->
More… and selected “Russian” for the Locale Setting (I did not change the UI
setting from English as that was the only setting I have). Hit OK.

2. Began typing in the document. I typed the same sentence - “F.e. Rabtchevich
A.V. Is typing…” and after F.e. and A.V., “Rabtchevich” and “is” ___ was
automatically capitalized after hitting the spacebar.

3. Went under Tools -> Autocorrect -> Autocorrect options to look at the list
of accepted abbreviations, where it specifies that using those abbreviations
will result in no capitalization following the period.

4. I typed my own abbreviation (R.A.) into this box and hit “New”, which added
it to the abbreviations list. Using both R.A. afterwards as well as a
pre-populated abbreviation (like acct.) the behavior was unchanged.
Autocapitalization still occurred to the word following the abbreviation.
