Weird problem

Jan 08, 2021 20:40

I have a weird problem I can't figure out how to solve. I accidentally added "Myrkalves" to the LibreOffice dictionary, when the proper spelling is "Myrkálves" with an accented A. I have the incorrect version set to automatically correct to the right spelling, but it isn't doing it. I looked in the dictionary list of words like the help page I found said to do, and I can't find the incorrect spelling in the list, though the correct ones are all there. I checked the autocorrect settings, and there on the list is the incorrect spelling set to automatically correct to the correct spelling. So by all rights, LibreOffice should be autocorrecting "Myrkalves" to "Myrkálves," but it isn't. And it isn't recognizing the incorrect spelling as being incorrect, despite the fact that I can't find the incorrect spelling on the list.

So, yeah. Weird problem, no idea how to solve it. I set up autocorrect on these things for a reason, because it's difficult putting in the right accents. I do have the workaround that the other versions of the word (like "Myrkalf" to "Myrkálf") are still autocorrecting, but that's annoying as well. I just want the damned thing to work properly!

See what I mean:







EDIT: Jesus fuck, now it's doing it with Foluralves, even though I never added any variant of that word to the dictionary yet! (Pulling out hair in frustration) Properly spelled "Fölurálves." I don't understand what the fuck is going on??? . . . This was cross-posted from https://fayanora.dreamwidth.org/1603724.html
