Summary: In versions of LO Writer 6 and higher as tested it is
not possible to select and edit, or copy and paste
from collected words in the word completion list box
at menu: Tools | Auto-correct | Auto-correct Options |

Description:
Issue: loss of function of a previous version of LibreOffice.
Pointing to: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/121914
In versions of LO 6 and higher as tested (see below) it is not possible to
select and edit, or copy and paste from collected words in the word completion
list box at menu: Tools | Auto-correct | Auto-correct Options | Word
Completion.
A functional practice in LO Writer version 5 has changed to non-functional in
LO Writer versions 6 and higher:
• The copy function Command+a, Command+c (or
right-mouseclick--copy) is unresponsive and does not work to select and copy an
entire list from the word completion list box to the clipboard.
• The copy function Command+c (or right-mouseclick--copy) also is
unresponsive and does not work to select and copy a single word from the word
completion list box to the clipboard.
• Using Command+c to copy a selection from the word completion
list box, the clipboard buffer is empty when attempting to paste (using
Command+v) the selection into an existing or new file (e.g., LO_WrdCmpltn_Ver_
SomeNumber_A-Z.odt).
Steps to Reproduce:
Use menu: Tools | Auto-correct | Auto-correct Options | Word Completion -
1 Open existing working documents from which new words are to be
collected and placed in the word completion list box.
2 Scroll through open existing working documents to collect
words; close documents.
3 Using menu: Tools | Auto-correct | Auto-correct Options | Word
Completion check the word completion list box for collected words.
4 In the word completion list box: use Command+a, Command+c (or
right-mouseclick--copy) to copy the complete list to clipboard --> This
function fails.
5 Paste the complete list from the clipboard into a new or
existing master file, (e.g., LO_WrdCmpltn_Ver_ SomeNumber_A-Z.odt) --> This is
not possible; copy function will not execute to put a word(s) into the
clipboard buffer.
Actual Results:
Observed/actual behavior:
1 In versions of LO 6 and higher as tested (see below) it is not
possible to select, copy and paste from collected words in the word completion
list box at menu: Tools | Auto-correct | Auto-correct Options | Word
Completion.
2 Using keystroke combination Command+a, Command+c (or
right-mouseclick--copy) in the word completion list box are inoperative.
3 In the word completion list box -- only one word will highlight
(can be selected) at a time.

to the clipboard.
