Description jleedev 2005-10-24 18:02:55 UTC 
Autocorrect uses its own capitalization when inserting a correction, instead of 
trying to match the user's text.

Typing TEH or Teh always gets replaced with "the", while it should match the 
capitals.

Examples:
TEH -> THE
Teh -> The

Reassigned to SBA.
Comment 2 kpalagin 2006-09-12 20:39:23 UTC 
Confirming with OO 2.0.3 (m180) on Win XP - original capitalization is not 
retained.
Comment 3 stefan.baltzer 2006-09-13 16:58:12 UTC 
SBA: Reassigned to OS.
Comment 4 Oliver Specht 2006-09-13 18:33:40 UTC 
Sorry, this is an enhancement request. AutoCorrection was not designed to
support capitalization. Reassigned to requirements.
Comment 5 quinten 2006-10-29 03:07:40 UTC 
Still a problem in 00.o 2.04 -- I use autocorrect extensively to expand certain
abbreviations and this is quite an annoying bug, especially when you're starting
a new line and the word is the first in the sentence.

This is still happening in OpenOffice.org 3.2.1. Are there any plans for fixing
this?
