            Bug ID: 139377
           Summary: AutoCorrect in LO-Writer changes as from version
                    7.0.4.1 forcibly “daß” (traditional German spelling
                    rules) to “dass” (reformed German spelling rules)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dirk.wun at t-online.de

Description:
Since version 7.0.4.1, the AutoCorrect function forcibly changes (traditional)
“daß” to (reformed) “dass”, which makes writing a text in traditional German
spelling quite difficult, because the conjunction “daß” occurs very often in
German.

This function is superfluous, because a writer of the reformed spelling uses
“dass” anyway (and does not need the superfluous “AutoCorrect”), while the
writer in the traditional spelling is very annoyed by the forced “AutoCorrect”
and is hindered in his writing flow not a little, because he must constantly
use the “Undo: Typing” function.

Please note: The traditional German spelling is still valid, and is still used
by some publishers (and writers). Only for public authorities the reformed
spelling is mandatory.

Please remove this unnecessary forced auto-correction again!!! Nobody needs it,
unless (German) LO programmers want to “nudge” German LO-Writer-users to the
reformed spelling. But that would be unethical and would have nothing to do
with well programmed software (which I consider LibreOffice to be).

Steps to Reproduce:
see “Description”

Actual Results:
see “Description”

Expected Results:
“daß” remains “daß” while writing and does not change to “dass” after using the
space bar


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
