If I try to select a single phrase using a triple click, I need to have an uppercase character after the punctuation signal. Otherwise, the selection loses the stop point and keep going on to the followed phrases. I think you can use this paragraph to test: Hello, this is a simple paragraph test. did you realize that we begun this second phrase with a lowercase character? and here again! now I guess you have a good paragraph to test what I'm trying to say. Try, please, to click over each one of the phrases in the paragraph above and you will understand my point. At least I hope so! Please, check that with some pontuation signals the selection works perfect. But not with all of them. Thks...
modified summary notes. tested under Win7 64bit with different LibO releases. triple click selection has the same behaviour at least up to 3.3.3 (but I suppose it has always been like that). for the moment I'll label it as NEW but I'm tempted to label it as NOTABUG since it's caused by incorrect ortography from the user... AFAIK in every language the "." should alway be followed by a capital letter. adding Writer expert to CC list to let him decide about it.
I understand... but when you say the "." should always be followed by a uppercase letter, I think you should say the ".", the "!", and the "?" should always be followed by a uppercase letter. However, the problem occurs only with the ".". So, at a minimum, this behaviour looks a little inconsistent. As an additional observation, despite I had agreed with you about the convention on capital letters after certain punctuation signals, I think, in general, we are changing some conventions and, for instance, writing almost with no uppercase letters. Indeed, your own text may be a good example of it. So, in my opinion, fix this tiny detail can make Writer a bit more consistent and ready to the new trends. Thks again.

I bet it won't help to turn an "F" into an "A" IMHO Writing processing tool should follow current orthographic conventions not SMS language trends etc. etc. > So, in my opinion, fix this tiny detail can make Writer a bit more > consistent and ready to the new trends. > > Thks again. I pass the ball to the develeopes.
