            Bug ID: 118959
           Summary: EDITING - unwanted and inappropriate autocorrection
                    occurs, even with all writing aids turned off
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ralph at cs.cf.ac.uk

Even if I turn all writing aids off in the preferences, Calc applies unwanted
autocorrection to text typed into cells, as you leave the cell.
For example if I make a new Calc worksheet, and enter
aff. maxmima
into a cell, on leaving the cell, this gets changed to
aff. Maxima
presumably due to use of a rule that the first letter after a period should be
a capital letter. (In fact, the period here denotes an abbreviation, so the
rule is inappropriate). 

The real problem is that there is apparently no way to turn this rule off in
the preferences, at least that I can see. (I don't want ANY such autocorrection
rules being applied in Calc spreadsheets, thank you). Again, [lease note that
this happens even after turning off ALL writing aids preferences.

This issue happens in safe mode.
It has been present in the last few releases at least.
