Bug ID: 123022
Summary: Editing: Cannot replace existing (German)
abbreviations in AutoCorrect options with correct
(German) abbreviations
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: plixp...@yahoo.de
In menu Tools > Autocorrect > AutoCorrect options > Exceptions I want to
replace the German abbreviation "z.B." (which is shown there in the list of
abbreviations) with "z. B." - please note the space character between "z." and
"B."; the abbrevation "z.B." in the list of exceptions has no space character
in between, and this kind of spelling is wrong.
If I type "z. B." (with the space character in between) in Tools > Autocorrect
> AutoCorrect options > Exceptions into the "Abbreviations (no subsequent
Capital)" field, then the "New" button is inactive, so I cannot define "z. B."
as a new abbreviation.
If I delete the abbrevation "z.B." (without the space character in between) in
the list of abbreviations, the "New" button gets activated. If I then define
"z. B." (with the space character in between) using the "New" button, a new
abbreviation gets added to the list of abbreviations, but not the abbreviation
"z. B." (with the space character in between), but again "z.B." (without the
space character in between".
So I am not able to define the abbreviation "z. B." (with the space character
in between) in this list.
I tried to correct the content of the file
/opt/libreoffice6.1/share/autocorr/acor_de.dat, but this file appears to be a
binary file, which I cannot edit.
Currently I am using the extension "Deutsche (DE_frami) Rechtschreibung,
Trennung, Thesaurus 2017 01.12" (a DE-German dictionary), but the behaviour
described above also occurs if I uninstall this extension via the Extension
Manager.
Restarting LO Writer in Safe Mode does not resolve this behaviour, too.
Please note that officially, the spelling "z.B." is wrong in at least
DE-German, it should be written "z. B." (with the space character in between),
refer to f.e.:
https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/z__B_ (that's the official German
dictionary, comparable with the Oxford English dictionary)
https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/z._B.
http://www.neue-rechtschreibung.net/2009/12/22/bei-abkurzungen-leerzeichen-nicht-vergessen/
Please note that this "z.B problem" also affects other DE-German abbreviations,
as you can see in the last link which I provided to you.
Note that I am using Linux Debian 9.6 ("Stretch"), the currently stable Debian
release.
