I updated not too long ago. In the previous installed version I had turned this off. In the version installed now I can't find the optionbox. ):
Version: 5.3.0.3 (x64) BS-Version: Windows 6.1; UI-Render: Standard; Layout-Engine: neu; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: single
I'm 100% sure in the version installed before it was possible to turn off this replacement distinctly, so complete turning off of autocorrection or completion or whatever it is called was not necessary.
I don't want to turn off the whole autcorrection or completion or whatever! (Only this totally superfluous three-dot-character!)
(Edit) Turning off the option 'autocorrection during entry' ("AutoKorrektur -> Während der Eingabe") turns off the replacing. But I don't want to turn of everything.
Removing every instance, that is in every language version listed, of the replacement needles .*... and ... from the autocorrection options ("AutoKorrektur -> AutoKorrektur-Optionen...") didn't help either. Program restart didn't change anything. For a test trying to remove something easier from only the German language versions like :Bus vorne: didn't have any effect either.
(Another 2 hours wasted.)
I would say: Definitly a bug. Someone report it on their website please.
