Description Leopold 2024-01-07 17:57:02 UTC
Description:
it may be desirable to remove all pre-configured AutoText entries at once. A reasonable option would be to remove the Path to the standard AutoText entries. While the UI seems to expect this and one can remove the path, no changes are actually made.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open AutoText modal
2. select button `Path...`
3. select path to standard AutoText entries (in my case `/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/autotext/en-US`)
4. select button `Delete`
5. accept changes by selecting button `OK`

Actual Results:
upon step 4 the path is deleted. selecting OK closes the `Path...` modal but no changes are made to the entries. upon reopening `Path...` modal, the path to the standard entries is there again.  

Expected Results:
closing the `Path...` modal causes the change to be accepted and the standard entries to be removed.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
removing the `.bau` files via sudo has the desired effect and is a reasonable workaround. it is unclear if the files reappear upon update.

Leopold, it seems, you're using an old version of LO. Please retest with LO 7.6 or LO 24.2. ist the problem still reproducible?
