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?

set status to NEEDINFO still waiting for user feedback
by the way LibO 4.3.3.2 is now available to retest the bug.
