Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 101046
Can't use a capital as first character for months in Dutch OpenOffice.org Calc
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:13:10 UTC
Quoted from the downstream issue: "In The Netherlands the names of months don't start with a capital, so when I write the name of a month in OpenOffice.org Calc it's automatically changed to lower case. I like to have the first letter to be a capital, but I can't find any way to use a capital. I always use a capital for every first word I type into a cell (or the first word if there are more words in one cell), but when this word is a month, I can't use a capital. Please give me an option to choose whether I want to use a capital or not." Not that it mentions in the downstream bug that it is an ooo-build specific issue, it is also relevant to the upstream build.
Created attachment 61530 [details] proposed patch
Created attachment 65478 [details] slightly modified patch
The new patch allows case matching for a text that's been auto-completed. For instance, assume the column has a cell that has 'total' in it. In this case, typing 'To' + <enter> will complete the text to 'total', whereas typing 'Total' + <enter> will complete it to 'Total', with the original casing intact.
OOo 3.2 is in show-stopper stage. If this issue is critical for the release please re-target it back. Otherwise this issue will be set to target 3.x now.
I'm adding this comment to all open issues with Issue Type == PATCH. We have 220 such issues, many of them quite old. I apologize for that. We need your help in prioritizing which patches should be integrated into our next release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0. If you have submitted a patch and think it is applicable for AOO 4.0, please respond with a comment to let us know. On the other hand, if the patch is no longer relevant, please let us know that as well. If you have any general questions or want to discuss this further, please send a note to our dev mailing list: dev@openoffice.apache.org Thanks! -Rob
