--- Comment #13 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Doug -- ease up dude! Heiko, who chairs our UX-advise committee, is an expert
in user interface design puts a tremendous amount of effort into LibreOffice.
He is not dumb and is definitely 'not a troll'.

Folks often don't understand the distinction being made here as AutoInput
completion in Calc is a spreadsheet function (performed by an 'sc' module
editengine) its scope is the currently selected sheet column. 

It makes no use of the AutoCorrection lists which _are_ implemented as common
code cross modules--you use that in the Writer module.

Bug 46949 was opened to develop UI to manipulate the AutoInput list. Which of
course can actually be manipulated now--by correcting the entries in the
column. That is when the offending entry is removed--it is removed from the
AutoInput processing.

But, in a large gnarly sheet--visual scanning of rows is cumbersome. Providing
a GUI for selection/editing and possibly bulk correction of AutoInput strings
in current column would improve work flows. But it would be new feature
development.

This is correctly resolved a duplicate.
