            Bug ID: 123977
           Summary: SHIFT-F3 caps toggle still affects unselected text
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.2.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: medelste at hotmail.com

Description:
This is a repeat report of an existing bug.

SHIFT-F3 is used to toggle capitalization of selected text.  This feature is
very useful for screenwriting and other tasks.  A recent release changed this
function so that the entire sentence is affected rather than just the selected
text.  The newest release still does this.

I've seen the ongoing debate about this functionality in LO.  However it's my
opinion that when a user selects text in a software program, any subsequent
operations should ONLY affect that selection.  If I want the entire sentence
changed, the user will select the entire sentence.

Thanks

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type a sentence with varying capitalization, such as "My favorite NFL team is
the Arizona Cardinals."
2. Select "Arizona Cardinals" text.
3. Type SHIFT-F3 multiple times.

Actual Results:
Along with "Arizona Cardinals", the unselected text NFL is changed to lower
case.

Expected Results:
Only the text "Arizona Cardinals" should be affected.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
