Why is Writer adding autofill option as hyphened sentences?

English

#1

I am using LO Writer on both Ubuntu and Fedora, and I noticed that the autocompletion is giving double words or full sentences separated by a hyphen. These are not thing I types, but Writer adds the hyphen on its own and stores it in the autocorrect list even if I checked the ‘cancel the collected words from the session’ option.
To be clear, I get autofill options such as

such-as
autocorrect-list
Ubuntu-and-Fedora
sentences-separated-by-a-hyphen

and so forth.
How can I get a better autofill (which is a splendid tool by the way).
Thanks

Does it happen in safe mode (Help > Restart in safe mode > Continue in Safe Mode)?


If I turn on Auto Complete and paste your question above into a blank document, then autocorrect is offered after typing autocor. I can choose the other “word” in the Auto Complete list, “autocorrect-list” only by pressing Ctrl+Tab (or Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go backwards)

#3

I would say, it is the same in autocorrect mode since the list is the same as in normal mode…

#4

You use the subjunctive, does that mean that you didn’t didn’t test it in safe mode?

Safe mode uses a new profile so it doesn’t necessarily use the same list.

#5

Now I used it a bit longer, and it is the same…

#6

Then the hyphenated words exist in the document because with a new profile you have a new Auto Complete list and a new AutoCorrect Replace list.

If you click Edit > Find & Replace, then find and replace the below items, are they still offered by Auto Complete?

such-as
autocorrect-list
Ubuntu-and-Fedora
sentences-separated-by-a-hyphen

No, I don’t have them. The problem is that new one are generated automatically. And for sure I don’t use hyphenated sentences, so they are also automatically generated and stored.

Attach a sample document where the mishap occurs so that we can text. I am under Linux. Your “Ubuntu-and-Fedora” suggests you’re also under Linux. Which LO version?
