Description jimk55 2003-09-13 22:15:11 UTC 
Tools -> Auto correct  
De4lete one entry and the entire table is gone when you bring OOo back up. 
Reset, Repair both -net and local did not fix this the table is gone. 
It would seem the only fix is a complete reinstall. I personally think this si a little extreme.

Confirmed  RH9/1.1rc4

Repair does not restore the lost table.  A Remove/install was required.  

Is this a duplicate of Issue 19543?  

Changing to P2.

Confirming WinXPPro 1.1rc4  

This behavior is also present in 1.1rc1, 1.1rc2 and 1.1rc3 but NOT 1.0.3.1

To reproduce:  

Select Tools > AutoCorrect/AutoFormat > Replace tab
Choose first entry, copyright symbol and click "Delete".  The
replacement is deleted, and the remainder of the table is unchanged.  

Click "Okay".  

Reopen Tools > AutoCorrect/AutoFormat > Replace tab -- the table is
empty.  

Closing OOo and restarting does not restore the table.  
Running Setup > Repair does not restore the table.

Yep.  In RC4 the entire program needs to be reinstalled.  "Repair"
does nothing.  It's a real show-stopper for people who want a few changes.
Comment 4 jimk55 2003-09-14 01:39:18 UTC 
Well this is interesting... 
I just tried to remove / install workstation. 
Remove all files... 
Still auto correct is empty. 
It will have to be a total new install -net... 
Sigh 
That makes this a very nasty bug. 
P1 in my opinion.
Comment 5 guido.pinkernell 2003-09-14 08:10:36 UTC 
confirmed on win98/rc1
Comment 6 rjbutler 2003-09-14 09:34:19 UTC 
After losing replacement table trying to confirm -and succeeding-
(Mandrake 9.1/OOo RC4) opening a large document (25 pages) with
"collect words" ticked will rebuild a new table. However I dare not
delete some odd entries which have appeared thereby.

Loss of replacement table happened only when I closed OOo completely 
and re-opened it.
Comment 7 jimk55 2003-09-14 19:26:19 UTC 
Well a remove and complete reload did not give me back my autocorrect. 
I think I am going to have to redownload and completely wipe OOo even to the 
directories. 
This is Very Very Bad! 
A show stopper in my opinion.

Comment 8 andyl 2003-09-14 21:01:45 UTC 
I tried and confirmed this (RC1 on WinXP).  But I think it only
happens when you delete the *first* entry in the replacement table. 
Also, before testing I made a copy of the acorr2057.dat file (in
OpenOffice1.1\user\autocorr; the "2057" bit depends on what language
you are using).  When I lost the table I just deleted this file and
copied back the backup I had made.  Back came the table.  So deleting
the first entry in the table seems to be corrupting this file.
Comment 9 andyl 2003-09-14 21:38:56 UTC 
Correction to the above.  I've tested it a few more times and it can
happen when deleting entries anywhere in the table, but not every time
a deletion is made.  I can't find any pattern to it at the moment -
sometimes the table is gone, sometimes it isn't.
