Auto-capitalise first letter of sentences not working

English
#1

’m trying to get familiar with LibreOffice Writer and have enabled “Capitalise first letter of every sentence” in AutoCorrect. I’ve checked the obvious settings and made sure AutoCorrect while typing is enabled.

However, when I finish a sentence with a full stop and start the next word, nothing happens. If I go into AutoCorrect and manually click Apply, it correctly capitalises everything.

So the rule itself works, it just doesn’t seem to trigger automatically while typing.

I’m using LibreOffice 25 on Linux.
Has anyone else experienced this or knows what I might be missing?

More info:
Here’s some more info:

Version: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Build ID: 580(Build:2)

CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.19; UI render: default; VCL: kf6 (cairo+wayland)

Distro: openSuse Tumbleweed (same on Slowroll)

Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB

Also, I’ve tried running is safe-mode and I’ve tried removing my profile.

Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:
(I have searched for similar threads but they were several years old and didn’t have solutions)

There are two enabling “switches”.

  • a detailed switch in Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect Option as a checkbox for every option in Options tab so that you control precisely what is auto-corrected
  • a global switch as a checkbox in menu Tools>AutoCorrect>While Typing to enable the feature as a whole

If the global switch is not ticked, nothing happens.
