           Summary: EDITING: Autocorrect incorrectly handles ordinals at
                    beginning of sentence

           Version: LibO 3.3.2 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All

          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Screenshot showing the mis-formatted text.

Problem description: 
When you type "1st" or other ordinal at the beginning of the SECOND or
subsequent sentence in a text box, the "st" is capitalized ("St") as well as
superscripted.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a new presentation.
2. Click inside a text box.
3. Type "1st sentence. 2nd sentence. 3rd sentence."

Current behavior:
(using LaTeX-style ^{} notation to represent superscripting)
What appears is: "1^{st} sentence. 2^{Nd} sentence. 3^{Rd} sentence."


Expected behavior:
"1^{st} sentence. 2^{nd} sentence. 3^{rd} sentence."


Notes:
1. You must be typing the second or higher sentence.  The first sentence in the
text box does not exhibit the bug.
2. The character after the ordinal matters.  The following sequences trigger
the bug:
"1st sentence. 2nd sentence. 3rd sentence."
"1st! 2nd! 3rd!"
"1st? 2nd? 3rd?"
However the following sequence does NOT trigger the bug:
"1st. 2nd. 3rd."

Platform (if different from the browser): 
Ubuntu 10.10.  The "About LibreOffice" dialog shows:
"LibreOffice 3.3.2 
OOO330m19 (Build:202)
tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2~maverick1"
