3) What is expected to happen in Writer in a blank document is when one types 1st, 2nd, or 3rd the text is converted to superscript automatically.

4) What happens instead is it does not. This is in spite of the options enabled as per screenshot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/992807/+attachment/3125667/+files/lo.png .

O.S: Xubuntu 12.04 LTS. Reproducible in Lubuntu.
I have installed the latest PPA version - 3.5.3-rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa2(precise), still happens.

In Writer, Tools, Autocorrect Options, format ordinal numbers suffixes, with both M and T selected and saved: when typing into a new or old document, will not raise up the suffix (for example, 2nd will not lift the "nd" higher, as was done on previous versions of libreoffice). Note that in an older (pre-3.4.0) document the suffix will display raised unless it is deleted. Format-Character-Position-Superscript will force the characters to be raised, FWIW.

I too have confirmed this behavior in LibreOffice 3.4.1 OOO340m1 (Build:103).

Text characters of ordinals, such as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, are NOT formatted as superscripts by autocorrect. I have unchecked and re-checked the Tools->AutoCorrect Options->Localized Options M[ ] T[ ] Format ordinal numbers ans suffixes (1st->1^st) and it does not work at all in writer. It used to work just fine. Dunno what broke it?

This issue seems to be resolved in the 3.5.3 beta downloaded from the Libreoffice website, however this probably won't be packaged in ubuntu for quite some time.

it seems that the change is that this 2nd -> 2^nd replacement is now somehow language dependent:

LO 3.4.6 and current 3.5:
 2nd will not be autocorrected if the locale LC_ALL=de_DE _or_ active document language is German, but will be document language is English (USA) _and_ LC_ALL=en_US

LO 3.6: can't get 2nd autocorrected at all here

LO master:
 2nd will not be autocorrected if the currently active document language is German, but will be if it is English (USA),

is that language dependence a feature?

Yeah, the feature is supposed to now be language dependant. i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd

3.6 is busted in that it carefully determines that e.g. "st" is indeed the
right suffix for English but then ignores it

Hi sasha, I don't think it's English-specific, anyway, I tried with English in LO 4.0.2.2 on Ubuntu 13.04 and even that doesn't work. The bug isn't fixed. It should be reopened.

If I do so I shall uninstall the version provided by the Software Centre. Is it worth the hassle? I'd better wait for this version to be released officially by Ubuntu. Thanks anyway for notifying me the bug has been fixed in version 4.0.3. Good to know.

Yes. Uninstall the existing version (you don't say which distribution or version of Linux you are using). Then follow the instructions on the Libre Office download page and use your package manager to install from the terminal. It's pretty easy.

If you still have problems, this isn't the place to ask; instead, ask on your distribution's help forum, or on a generic Linux forum.

As I said, I'm running LO 4.0.2.2 on Ubuntu 13.04, I'm going to check on the Ubuntu forum whether Ubuntu users are experiencing my same problem with the bundled version. Going through the installation process is something I'd like to avoid as far as it's possible since it's a nightmare tampering with dependencies afterwards, it' not advisable to uninstall the bundled version unless it's strictly necessary.

On 12.04, there are no dependency problems whatsoever. I have not tried LO on 13.04 recently, but when I did try, it was flawless. You just have to remember to uninstall the existing LO first. If it doesn't work to your liking, it's very easy to uninstall it and reinstall from the Software Centre.

Can you double-check if BOTH language settings in

I don't use Ubuntu, but let me assume it's the same on the Windows version for now.

By "stuck" do you mean it's dimmed (greyed)? If so, please click on the Replace tab first, and see if you can change it there. Then see if it works. In the Localised Options tab, the "Format ordinal number suffixes" must of course be ticked.

(FYI, it's already set in French probably because it is so at Tools > Options > Languages > Locale setting)

OK, I did so but ordinal numbers still don't receive the expected treating. :(

I bet Ubuntu packagers did something fishy with the package. Why not try downloading the offical RPM, extract every rpm in the same directory and run LO from there?

Indeed, I'm not running the RPM, but the PPA directly from LO site, Ubuntu 13.04's default version is actually 4.0 not 4.1. I've switched to the PPA version as suggested by someone in this thread in order to check whether the problem was due to the particular implementation in Ubuntu or not. The problem is still there.

checked with 4.1.1 from Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy) -- bug not reproducable, so not an Ubuntu issue. Either some weird deps/ppas or a dirty profile.

In that case try renaming ~/.config/libreoffice to something else.
