--- Comment #10 from Tom Colley <tcol...@livingdata.com.au> ---
It's 4 years since I first reported this bug. I solved the issue in my work
practice by using an operating-system-wide autocorrect software. I chose
Autokey for this purpose. I notice that this type of software provides two
important functions which may render autocorrection in individual software
redundant.
a) It allows text auto-correction across ALL software on that installation of
ubuntu/linux. So the same autocorrection works on text editors, word
processors, web browser forms, etc.
b) The personalised autocorrect data from one installation can be copied and/or
synchronised with other installations, allowing one set of autocorrect data to
be applied and updated across multiple computers. This data is also easily
carried beyond the life of an installation, becoming part of a user's personal
tools.
I suspect this will become (is becoming) the direction for the future. Given
the lack of resources for autocorrect fixes in LibreOffice, perhaps the LO team
might consider formalising dependence on such tools as Autokey, and invest some
effort in their quality and integration with LO.
I notice that Autokey has its own bugs, which I work around by a simple quick
restart. So it (and its equivalents) would benefit from such consolidation of
resources.
