            Bug ID: 109002
           Summary: Cant get rid of autocomplete, cant work with it.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: andrew at grillet.co.uk

Default for autocomplete should be OFF, and it should be VERY EASY to find out
how to turn it off (and preferably near impossible to find out how to turn it
on). 

It has caused me to waste enormous amounts of time in both writer and calc ever
since version 1.0, and is the cause of several people I know ceasing to use
LibreOffice entirely -"I can't enter what I want cos it keeps putting the last
thing over again".

The whole feature is a killer to productivity and is completely
counter-intuitive for most people, computer literate or not.

LibreOffice Help does not explain how to disable it. Google searches for how to
turn it off can not to track the fact that it changes from time to time.

Summary: 
   Default for Autocomplete should be OFF, 
   Means to disable it should not be buried deep in the menu structure
   Help should be more helpful.
