Description bgelb 2007-12-11 06:03:42 UTC 
When I'm writing and I put in parens "i.e.", the 'i' in i.e. is automatically
capitalized.

Example:

I like electronics (i.e. VCRs).

Comes out:

I like electronics (I.e. VCRs).

This is incorrect behavior. Please address it in an upcoming release.

Comment 2 Rainer Bielefeld 2007-12-11 08:23:03 UTC 
I checked with "2.3.1  Multilingual German version WIN XP: [680m9(Build9238)]"
and can confirm the effect, if language "English" is selected for the text. OOo
will replace a single "i" by "I", because it "believes" that the "i" is a wrong
spelling of the personal pronoun "I". No Idea how that can be eliminated without
a complex grammar checker.

@bgelb:
Please contribute information concerning OOo localization and document language!
I believe document language is English? Due to my comments you can eliminate the
problem by deleting the replace function for "i" -> "I" in menu "Tools ->
AutoCorrect... -> Replace".
Comment 3 michael.ruess 2009-07-29 15:20:26 UTC 
This is desired. However, expressions like "i.e." will be corrected after
entering space character after "e.". If you do not like this in general, delete
it from the Autocorrect list.
