On the other hand, it might be a setting which should be on by default in the en_GB builds. Not sure who is in charge of those. I know one case where a sentence ends with one of these abbreviations.

(both my first-year english-textbook as well as my Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary don't put a dot after Mr or Mrs). But maybe this is a US/UK difference or a case where habits don't match the guideline. Please take the summary more serious. another foo issue isn't very descriptive). More a lingucomponent (or l10n)-issue than a word-processor one. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

A long time ago there was a very strict rule that when an abbreviation includes the last letter, you don't use a full stop, but that rule has long since been relaxed and it's now a matter of individual taste. Anyway, I've worked out how to tweak my individual copy of Openoffice to deal with this now. I'll leave it us to you to decide whether to include this as the default for future Openoffice releases. The only point I will make in its favour is that anyone who writes Mr. or Mrs. almost certainly means the full stop as an abbreviation. I can't see any conceivable way that the full stop could indicate the end of a sentence and make sense. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
