It's sad that you went to all that trouble. The only thing you had to do
was to learn that, when the automatic "correction" was made was to
immediately hit Ctrl-z (or Cmd-z on a Mac) or Edit-Undo to reverse the
automatic change. Had you consulted the Help, you would have found this
under Autocorect - While Typing.

Well, I must say, I'm a little puzzled myself...

I'm running LO 4.1.1.2, and after reading this mail, I just tried this
myself, thinking it should be easy. And for some reason, almost nothing
I did prevented LO Writer from automatically capitalizing the first
letter of the word "cat" when I typed the space (or enter) after the
word.

Things I tried:

* Turned off the "AutoSpellcheck" button on the toolbar
* Tools | Language | For Selection | None (Do not check spelling)
* Tools | Language | For Paragraph | None (Do not check spelling)
* Tools | Language | For all Text | None (Do not check spelling)
* Tools | Options | Language Settings | Writing Aids | Options | Check
  spelling as you type
* Tools | Options | Language Settings | Writing Aids | Options | Check
  grammar as you type
* Tools | Options | Language Settings | Writing Aids | Available
  language modules -> Unchecked all

What did finally work was:

* Tools | AutoCorrect Options | Options | Capitalize first letter of
  every sentence -> Unchecked [T]

Things this shows me (in no particular order):

* There are too many places that such options can be set. Not only all
  the places I found options to twiddle, but also all the other places
  where I didn't find any relevant options (but still had to look).
* Trying to find any given option is harder than it should be (as a
  consequence of the above).
* It is confusing to the user as to which set of options operates at
  any given time (as a consequence of the above).
* There is no easy way to toggle this behaviour on and off in its
  entirety, you can only do it for options individually.

I think the language settings need an overhaul and consolidation, and
at least a way to toggle it all off and on in one shot, for people that
occasionally need to enter some text that should stay verbatim and
uncorrected.


Just my thoughts.

*My*

My gripe with libreoffice are its "stupid" algorithims that
constantly find false errors in what I type.

If I type *** as a break between sections I get a bold line

If I type cat --help

I get Cat --(dash)help

Is there ONE place where I can turn off ALL automatic overrides?

If I can't type what I want to type, libreoffice is a deal-breaker. I
have carefully searched all menus.
