Description Erkan 2013-12-08 21:01:45 UTC
Created attachment 90481 [details]
A line

Normal spoken when I type: --- and it will automatic a line. But that doesn't work. ___ works only.
I did enable "Replaced dashed" of Options (Tools --> AutoCorrect Options...)

I don't know or has this bug same problem by Windows and Linuxdistribution.

confirmed. Tested using MacOSX 10.9 with LibreOffice 4.2.0b2.

Thanks Erkan for reporting!
Comment 2 Laurent Balland 2014-01-27 08:19:56 UTC
On attachment 90481 [details] you can notice that first dash has been replaced by a long dash. Then "---" cannot be detected.

In commit https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/6747/ I made a correction which works well on Linux and Windows. Don't know what is specific to Mac.
On Mac, when the first dash is replaced by a long one? Just when you type it? When you type the 2nd one? The 3rd one? Hit enter?

please Mac users, retest under current LibO 4.2.5.2 version and answer Laurent's questions.

The summary mentions "horizontal line" (original summary simply stated "line"). The option to convert three dashes to a horizontal line (border) is "Apply Border" (rather than "Replace dashes"). It is not clear to me whether this report relates to AutoCorrect of dashes or borders.
