[Issue 127402] New: Annoying i.e. bug
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127402
Issue ID: 127402
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Annoying i.e. bug
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.0
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 10
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Minor
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: editing
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: paul1@paul-robinson.us
Target Milestone: ---
I was trying to use the Latin expression for "that is" which is i.e. So, at one
point in my book, I'm writing something like
You'll have to give him a "campaign contribution", i.e. a bribe.
or
You'll have to give him a "campaign contribution," i.e. a bribe.
As soon as the i.e is typed, the I is altered to upper case, even though it's
following a comma, (or quoted comma) not a period, and I could not get the
behavior to stop. Then I discovered if I continued typing, the i is returned to
lower case, but then the term i.e. is redlined as a misspelled word!
The autochange is annoying, but i.e. should be in the program's dictionary.
This represents my first "i.e." problem on a computer in ten years that wasn't
about Internet Explorer!
----
And remember, commas save lives. Compare the following sentences:
Lets eat grandma!
Lets eat, grandma!

It looks like an automatic option is doing this conversion. Please have a look
for them in the AutoCorrect dialog (see menu "Tools - AutoCorrect Options").
Make sure the language is correct set and fit to the language in the document.
Then check the items on the "Replace" and "Options" tabs. I hope this helps.
