Another example document, maybe related?

A similar problem occurs even when Record changes are off.  In the following
sentence, ‘Please’ is in italics, and from the comma onwards – ‘,”’ – Regular. 
I was disturbed to discover that typing three periods, and then a space to get
the smart punctuation to convert the periods into an ellipsis, removed the
italics of the ‘Please’.  Do you think this bug is related to (or the same as)
the above bug?

“Please,” began Anika.

See the attached file, which adds to the previous version of the example
document.

I also wonder whether the bug is Linux only.  It's odd that it couldn't be
reproduced under Windows.  Perhaps there's an option or customisation that
causes the problem?
I went looking for what I referred to as "smart punctuation" but couldn't find
anything like that under the Tool->Options menus.
I think it's actually set via AutoCorrect.
I see I have .*... and … (ellipsis). Maybe the regexp is causing the problem?
Hmm, maybe not: changing that AutoCorrect option to .*... -> … made no
difference.
