[snap] Autocorrect not working Kubuntu 18.04 lts, but is in Ubuntu 20.04 lts

[James Beale]

Snap installed variant: Autocorrect not working Kubuntu 18.04 lts, but is in Ubuntu 20.04 lts

"Use replacement table" is checked (Bug ID 101564)

LibreOffice 7.2.1.2 installed via Snap.

When using writer previously --> autocorrected to right arrow, and various other things, like auto creation of a web link when typed in also performed faultlessly.

Now I have to do these autocorrects manually. I've checked and checked my setup, purge removed the install, making sure my user profile was removed, and re-installed.

Does anyone know if this is a bug? Or have I missed something?

Please report it to Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/

Yes. I have done, but I also wondered if anyone searching here had had a similar experience, and had found whether it's a bug of some kind or not.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

FYI: Kubuntu 18.04 LTS is no longer supported; refer https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-18-04-lts-bionic-beaver-reaches-end-of-kubuntu-support/ or https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2020/08/14/ubuntu-18-04-5-lts-released/ where you'll note only Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Desktop & Ubuntu Cloud come with 5 years of support;. I'd suggest using `ubuntu-support-status` to assess the security status of your actual install.
