[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 143996] In LO Writer the “Check true minus sign” function does NOT seem to work.

I tested with: Version: 7.5.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 53bb9681a964705cf672590721dbc85eb4d0c3a2 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded With steps: 1. Deactivate autocorrect entirely (so it doesn't automatically replaces characters) 2. Turn the "minus sign" English Sentence Checking setting on 3. Write strings like "5 - 2" and "5-2", using the default hyphen Result: no blue squiggle under "5-2", blue squiggle under "5 - 2" but right-clicking on it reveals it's not about minus signs, it's about replacing it by en-dash or em-dash. Dieter and Stuart, wasn't what you were seeing that second part? (I'm not sure how to selectively turn that dash check off to check that it is "hiding" the minus check.) I see no evidence of the minus sign check working. It should at least work for unspaced maths expressions, like for the multiplication sign. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143996 V Stuart Foote changed: What|Removed |Added CC||nem...@numbertext.org --- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote --- Can not confirm because there is no auto-replacement for either the multiplication sign nor the minus sign provided by Language Settings -> English Sentence Checking. Those are pattern matched syntax *checks* receiving only the blue squiggles of "grammar-check", no auto-replacement is applied by the feature. The minus sign "check" will only occur if the AutoCorrect Options -> Options panel 'Replace dashes' is unchecked. Likewise the 'Ellipsis' "check" will only occur if the Autocorrect Option -> Replace table entry '.*...' is deleted. By design the AutoCorrect actions take priority over the grammar checks. You can add your preferred AutoCorrect actions, or manually enter your preferred glyph with the Special Character dialog. But still some potential to improve the match syntax around dash/minus and x/multiplication sign use. @László, any comment? Should the "Change" strings in the tooltips [1] be adjusted to read "Checks for" to avoid confussion? Otherwise would resolve =>NAB =-ref-= [1] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/dictionaries/en/dialog/en_en_US.properties -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

You say that the minus sign check requires “5 – 3” to match, but that does not work on my machine as I get the option to select between an en dash and an em dash, but NOT a true minus sign option. The em dash and true minus sign are very close, but NOT the same (the true minus sign looks to be the same length but has a little more spacing before and after the minus sign and appears to be slightly higher from the baseline than the em dash, which can be seen by dramatically increasing the font size and adding the vertical bars on both sides making it an absolute value). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I tried that before I wrote the bug report, both with pure mathematical numbers and algebraic letters...as well as with and without spaces surrounding the minus operator). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143996 V Stuart Foote changed: What|Removed |Added CC||vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu --- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote --- Can not confirm. There are two features colliding. The AutoCorrect option 'Replace dashes' checkbox will replace the U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS with a U+2013 EN DASH before the 'English sentence checking' 'Minus sign' has parsed the run for the pattern match. Disable the autocorrect 'Replace dashes' and the blue squiggle of the sentence checking will appear. Function is a bit sloppy--the match pattern differs between the 'Multiplication sign' and the 'Minus sign', e.g. "5x3" will match "5-3" will not, the minus sign check requires "5 - 3" to match.
