Auto-Correct Spellecheck - Not Working

Hi Jason,

Interesting! Hadn't ever tried it before in SL. Definitely doesn't work in the way I'm used to.

Seems it works by typing the abbreviation in, leaving the text box or shape (pressing  enter doesn't do anything), and then clicking back inside it. Clicking back inside expands the abbreviation. Wonder if this s/b reported as a bug?

Thanks for checking on this. At least I know it's not just me.

Hi Becky and Jason!

I just tried this out as well and my first attempt flopped. I believe this is because I used the capitalized "GBB". I deleted that entry and added it again as "gbb" and the text corrected right after entering it into a text box. I think part of the issue is that some capitalized text may not be corrected because it's seen as an acronym.

I tried this in on a button and it showed up quickly as well.

Can you let me know if you have any luck with the lowercase version on your end?

Thanks! :)

Hi Christine,

TX for checking. Lowercase worked for me in a text box. I honestly can't remember which case I'd used back in March. The "click outside back inside" trick I mentioned in that post doesn't work for uppercase.

Hi Becky,

I honestly had never even tried to use that feature before - but now that I've seen it, I may have to make more use of it :D

Thanks for trying it out!

Hope you're having a great day :)

Hi Christine,

I've not had a use for it "to date" in SL, but take advantage of it in Word. My day went well...and I hope the same was true for you.
