https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33899 --- Comment #37 from tommy27 ba...@quipo.it --- @Ian yes, the / acts as a terminator and triggers autocorrect as already explained in comment 10 it should be kept because if you type words like balck/white and you have a balck - black autocorrect entry it will correct the first error, otherwise you should always set an entry with the entire word. the only way to obtain a compromise would be to tweak the code and make the / be an autocorrect separator/trigger only for letters and not for numbers but I don't know if it's technically feasible. regarding the 1/2inch example, if you wanna obtain ½inch you have to play with wildcards and add a 1/2* -- ½ replacement as said before my proposal is a workaround which is easy to implement for all those who are experiencing issues with the date/fraction collision. at the moment there's no better solution -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33899 --- Comment #38 from tommy27 ba...@quipo.it --- the other, maybe more elegant, solution is to modify the autocorrect replacement for fractions like has been done in the french localization. in the french locale I see 1//2 -- ½ rather than 1/2 -- ½ like in other locales (like italian, english, german etc.) the advantage of an autocorrect replacement such as 1//2 -- ½ is that you will never have autocorrect collision while writing dates (see also Bug 71974) and you will not need the wildcard workaround I described before. I think that we should probably make all those special characters autocorrection uniform among the various languages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33899 --- Comment #36 from Ian Goddard godda...@hotmail.co.uk --- (In reply to comment #35) I think there's an elegant workaround to avoid autocorrect interferences while dealing with dates without removing the existent autocorrect entries for fractions. just open the autocorrect replacement table and enter this: replace: ½/.* with: 1/2/ replace: ¼/.* with: 1/4/ replace: ¾/.* with: 3/4/ It works but I'm not sure I'd call it elegant. The cell contents first autocorrect to the fraction which is a bit disconcerting then autocorrect back. As you say, it's a workaround. The real problem is that the autocorrect kicks in too early. I'm trying to understand just what the process is. By comparison with the substitution on dates I'd expect to be able to enter ½inch by typing 1/2inch and likewise ½ but I get exactly what I type. It looks as if it takes more than entering any character after the 2 to throw the autocorrect mechanism into play. There must be a list of terminator characters and only after one of these is entered does autocorrect inspect the string but either a space or a / can act as a terminator. In that case is the / were removed from that list dates could be entered more easily. That leaves the question of whether there are any use cases where / is a valid terminator as those would then be broken. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33899 --- Comment #32 from Ian Goddard godda...@hotmail.co.uk --- Maybe we should consider test cases what would be considered acceptable ways of handling. Here's a starter: A spreadsheet describing stock in a warehouse. The columns are (1)product description, (2)put-away date and (3)bin number. Autocorrection is allowed. In column 1 entering '1/2 copper tube' and 'Tube, copper, 1/2' should be rendered '½ copper tube' and 'Tube, copper, ½' if autocorrection is turned on or left as is if it's turned off. In column 2 entering '1/2/14' and '1/2/2014' are interpreted as dates according to the rules of the current locale (remember that for some of us this would be the first of February, not the second of January) and date formatting rules set for the column. Column 3 is more problematic '1/2', '1/2/14', '1/2/14/1234' and '1234/1/2/14' could all be valid bin numbers and entered as is. This implies that all interpretation should be able to be turned off on a column (and, by extension, row) basis. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

LibreOffice development currently prioritizes bugs with the so called MAB (most annoying bugs) -- as this bug has not run through that process (including writing a short rationale for this bug being a candidate and other who are watching the tracker bug silently approving that rationale etc.) its priority is set to high. Note this is effectively no change in the urgency assigned to this bug, as we are currently not making a difference between high and highest and severity is untouched. You can find out more about MABs and how the process works by contacting libreoffice qa on irc: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa The QA wiki page also gives you hints on how to get in contact with the team (if IRC fails you, your next best choice is the mailing list): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33899 --- Comment #27 from Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com --- In response to comment #8, the workaround (2) suggested is not effective under GNU/Linux TDF/LOv4.0.3.3. If I change the AutoCorrection Replacement Table entry 1/2 with 1|2 in order to allow fractions but via a different key combination, it has no effect on typing 1/2. This value is *still* changed to a fraction. The new combination is changed as well, but the fact that the old combination is also changed points to a deeper issue with this facility (which I believe you indicate - it sounds like it is hardcoded somewhere). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
