            Bug ID: 134314
           Summary: Auto Complete does weird stuff when comes to Umlauts
                    in German Version 6.4.4.2
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization

Description:
My auto complete function has collected words during use, among them
"Gründungsjahr" and "ermächtigen". I updated to 6.4.4.2 yesterday. 

Now when typing "ermä" I get the suggestion "ermchtigen" instead of
"ermächtigen". 

When typing "Grü" two thing happen, that are unexpected. I dont get a
suggestion, but the letters get replaced no matter how. I get "Grndungsjahr". 

I tried to remove the letters "ndungsjahr" using backspace and type again, but
bummer, the same again. I want to write "Grünen" in this case actually. The
solution I found was to type "Gruenen" and replace "ue" afterwards. 

Besides sucking away umlauts, auto complete has changed behaviour
inadvertently. It does not add a space after completing any longer.

I tried more words, where umlauts appear later. "Beschlussfassung" and
"Beschäftigte" are both cached words. When typing "Bes" I first get a
suggestion of "Beschlussfassung" which I might accept. Going on typing "Besch"
the suggestion remains until I type "Beschä". In this very moment, I get a
replacement with "Beschftigte" without ä which I am not able to reject, just as
with "Grndungsjahr".


In the options dialog, the settings "Leerzeichen anhängen" (attach space) and
"Als Tipphilfe anzeigen" (show as suggestion) are not checked. Based on former
behaviour I assume that the former one had been checked before updating.

In the options dialog, the button "Löschen" above the list of collected words
apparently does nothing. The expected behaviour is, list gets emptied and after
closing the settings window no completion of the words mentioned in the
examples above happens. When clicking the Button, the list remains filled as is
and after closing the settings dialog with "OK", forced autocompletion as
described with "Grndungsjahr" goes on. This is also the case when unchecking
the box Wörter sammeln" bevor hitting "Löschen".

Finally, the check box "Gesammelte Wörter beim Schließen eines Dokuments
entfernen" at the bottom below the word list in the options window helped me to
solve the issue for now.

Well, not completely, the setting "Leerzeichen anhängen" still is ignored. But
I am fed up testing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type Gründungsjahr to fill the auto complete word list
2. type Grü
3.

Actual Results:
Grndungsjahr is inserted without the possibilty to reject the suggestion.

Expected Results:
Gründungsjahr offered as a suggestion where I am able to type on to enter
Grünen instead as intended.


Reproducible: Always

Resetting UserProfile: I removed the list of collected words before becoming
aware of such thing as running LibreOffice in protected mode. As such I cant
check this any more.
