Description Elmar 2014-09-10 05:56:11 UTC
Problem description: 
I have an autokey replacement (excluding []) as follows:
[boeh04=] means [Barry Boehm, Richard Turner. (2004) Balancing Agility and Discipline. Addison-Wesley. ]

when I use it here, it works correctly. When I try it in Writer. it comes out as [BBBaarrry  ooeehhm,Riicccdd  Turrnnnn...(2004)  aallllggAAiiiityy  aDssspiinneee  dd-W]

I notice that the result is not consistent. For example, in three tries in the same document I got:
BBBaarrry  ooeehhm,Riicccdd  Turrnnnn...(2004)  aallllggAAiiiityy  aDssspiinneee  dd-W
BBBaarrryy  ooeehhm,Riicccdd  Turrnnnn...(2004)  aallllggAAiiiit  aDssspiinneee  dd-Wy
Bbaarrry  ooeehhm,Riicccdd  Turrnnnn...(2004)  BaallllggAAiiiityy  aDssspiinneee  dd-W

It does work correctly in other tools. (I did notice this same behaviour when editing using MSWord a long time ago, but never investigated it further - thought that it was because I had similar phrases in MSWord's autocorrect, and that these were conflicting.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create any replacement set in Autokey
2. type the key in LibreOffice component
3. ....


Current behavior:

Expected behavior:

              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.3.1.2 release
Last worked in: 4.3.0.4 release

For the clarity of others "AutoKey" is likely a reference to this utility:

@Elmar
have you tried upgrading to LibO 4.3.2.2? is the bug still there?
Comment 3 tommy27 2014-10-30 20:56:15 UTC
set status to NEEDINFO still waiting for user feedback
by the way LibO 4.3.3.2 is now available to retest the bug.
