Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 43878
AutoCorrect does not open in correct language
Last modified: 2007-01-18 14:40:26 UTC
When several languages (dictonaries, thesaurus, AutoCorrect) are installed and used, then it seems that AutoCorrect does not open in the language of the active document, but in the last language used. This is annoying because if formatted text to add to AutoCorrect is selected in a documet and Auto Correct opens in the wrong language with the "With" field filled in with the formatted text, and then the language is changed to the correct language, the "WITH" field is cleared and this the formatted text not available. Thus one has to start over. And one can easily overlook that one has not added the AutoCorrect value to the right language and then wonder why it is not working. Set-up in my case : English, German and Frensh language packs installed. Each time I create a new text document I go Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languages and chose the correct "defaut language for documents" and tick "For the current document only" (BTW this could be easier to access and the chosen language setting could be shown in the status bar) . "Language of Locale setting" is "Default". I have tried to add an AutoCorrect value to the [All] language in the AutoCorrect window, because I thought then I would be able to use it in all languages, but OO crashed thouroughly. The AutoCorrect value I tried to add was already existing in some of the installed language packs. Since then I haven't touched the [All] language.
reassigned to SBA.
SBA: I could not reproduce a crash when setting "duplicate" replacements in "Language = [All]" AutoCorrect opens (in 680m84, too) with the last langauage used This works as designed -> Not a defect but an enhancement -> Type changed. I agree that it sounds much more convenient to have the language selection "smarter". Some possible solutions: - the language that is set at the current cursor position (IMHO the best solution) - the default document language - YAO (yet another option, so the user can define) Confirmed and reassigned to requirements.
