Autotext is inserting additional unwanted character -Solved Itself

[trennor]

I don’t know if I did this somehow, but I’m using the newly installed 7.1.4.2 version, and already an anomaly has cropped up. When autotext makes a suggestion, it comes up with a ß at the end of it. Every one. I don’t know HOW I got that in there, but I sure don’t want it. For example, type “him” and i get " himself.ß " as a suggestion and it adds the whole thing on pressing . How do i get rid of this additional, unwanted character in my autotext suggestions?

I also noticed I cannot eliminate double spaces now using find and replace; what happened there?! Why would the developers do away with that handy tool?

Are you sure you’re talking about AutoText? Is this rather some AutoCorrect or spellchecking feature?

[trennor]

Yes I’m talking autotext; i DO know the difference between them and it’s not auto-correct. However, it seems to have corrected itself; a couple of reboots due to other issues and it now seems to be working properly again. Don’t ask me why; I’ll put it down to the gremlins. Thank-you.
