<pre>Description:
A word may be correct only if always lower-case. Spell-checking permits words
to get capital initials at beginnings of sentences. This capitalization should
be suppressible for particular words, such as some computer commands for Unix,
Linux, and BSD.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check that your LO spelling checker's user-defined dictionary does not
include the following: dd
2. In a Writer document, type the following: Dd dd
3. Run spell-check (F7).
Actual Results:
This passes the spell-check.
Expected Results:
Since the term is correct only for all lower-case because using any other case
when entering the command in a command-line interface (especially with older
distributions of Linux), "Dd" should be rejected as a misspelling even though
it's at the beginning of the sentence.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
For a few words, only the literal entry in the custom dictionary would be
approved in a document.
The suppression should be available for words in the main dictionary as well as
in custom dictionaries. Suppression even in the main dictionary would be by the
user's choice.
While I use a Linux distro for which the CLI tentatively recognizes the initial
capital for a Linux command (it suggests proceeding with the lower-case
alternative), arguments and options are often case-sensitve to the point of
assigning different meanings for different cases, and for that situation spell
checker suppression would help with Writer.
The UserProfile doesn't seem to be available for resetting.
OpenGL doesn't seem to be available for enabling.</pre>
