            Bug ID: 139967
           Summary: "Ignore double spaces" option in AutoCorrect needs
                    critical evaluation -- and behaves differently than
                    Help page
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

According to:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/01/06040100.html

   Ignore double spaces

   Replaces two or more consecutive spaces with a single space.


0. Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options - Options tab
   uncheck all [T] and [M] options, except for [T] options
   "Ignore double spaces"

1.  Make sure:  Tools > AutoCorrect > While Typing (is enabled)

2.  Used Default PS.

3.  Enter text, sometimes with double (or more) spaces.

Actual results:

1. Contra "help", no double spaces are replaced.  (also tried with Tools -
AutoCorrect - Apply -- just in case....)

2. If there are "double" or "triple" spaces, they are flagged with blue ripple
underlining -- no underlining with 4 or more spaces.

3. The "option" did not seem to have any effect on the grammar flagging.  That
is, they appear (if only double or triple), regardless of the option setting.
Does it have another function?

Not clear what the intended function is.  

Need to improve functionality (and align with help page).

(If the purpose is only to "ignore grammatical errors" then I wonder if it is
worthwhile to "clutter" up the "options" with this trivial choice, given there
are other "ignore" options).

Has been present since OOo 1.1.0
