--- Comment #6 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)

Confirmed that AutoText will use the closest string of non-space characters
that's only composed of either alphanumeric characters _or_ special characters.
Note that using Ctrl + Shift + Left arrow will also select the full ")---".
OOo 3.3 would also catch the full ")---", so marking as inherited.
Mike, after your work on bug 126589, what are your thoughts?
Deciding what constitute a boundary or not in a series of non-alphanum will
always be debatable[1], so the only way out as I understand it is to:
(a) keep adding characters to the string and checking if it matches a shortcut
until it does or it reaches a space or alphanum character. Sounds like a pretty
bad hack, but could work?
Alternatively:
(b) Stop accepting some boundary characters in new shortcuts (which ones? and
would break existing shortcuts, so not workable.)
(c) Won't fix.
[1] What happens if I want my shortcut to be ")))" ? It's currently accepted in
the shortcut field.
