And how many people are going to know - or find - that?
There's a reason I consider this a very nasty papercut bug - you should NOT
leave your typical user cursing and swearing because they can't work out how to
stop LO corrupting the text they typed in.
I appreciate actually fixing the bug might be a lot harder than it looks, but
with things as they currently stand, fixing the user's document is a lot harder
than it should be. Much as I hate praising MS Office, it gets it right. It
*ALWAYS* marks the user's changes and auto-correct changes as *SEPARATE* edits
so you can undo one and not the other.
LibreOffice, in *too* *many* places, conflates the changes so the user is
stuffed with a choice of either the pre-edit state, or the post-corruption
state, with no way to get to the desired state of "just give me what I typed,
for fuck's sake!!!"
And no - expecting the user to know esoteric work-arounds like you suggested is
not a good solution.</pre>
