Cannot reproduce with both ' and ’ (U+2019). *** Bug 53215 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I was able to confirm. Marking as NEW, prioritizing relatively high because it looks bad for LibO and could affect a lot of users. LibO Version: 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214) US localization (not sure if imortant) Also confirmed that another user from the mailing list is experiencing this problem. Also confirmed that this is a problem with MS Excel, so the patch may need to also take into account what happens when we import ATM I would not solve this bug report. Gnumeric and Excel behave the same way and OpenFromula contains a comment that this is underspecified. https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/16826/openformula-spec-20060221.html#PROPER We should wait here and have a look at the result of the OpenFormula specification changes. I think it depends of the locale, the language and the density of occurences. In french, the sentence "ce n'est pas l'heure" will be "Ce N'Est Pas L'Heure", which is correct and expected. And if you consider people names like "jean d'ormesson", the behaviour is correct. I think the occurence of a name having an apostrophe before one letter is rare, although in english music titles, there could be more. I think there was a trade-off here that this function will more target people names rather than music titles :) HTH ** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.3.5 or later): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) Thank you for your help! -- The LibreOffice QA Team |
