How to NOT turn (c) into a symbol

users
#21

The whole LO copyright symbol shortcut combo is irrelevant on OSX
because natively Alt+C will insert that symbol anywhere that accepts
text input.

Posting back (better late then never) as requested about the things I tried:
LibreOffice 5.1.2.2
Windows 10
Options -> Language -> User IF = English
* Default language -> Western = English (USA)
             -> Asian = Default Japanese
             -> English (default) is NOT in my list

Tools -> Autocorrect options -> "Replace" by language:
All -> no entries
English -> (C) -> deleted -> no change
Default - Japanese -> deleted -> no change
German/Germany -> deleted -> no change
German/Austria -> no fitting entry*
German/Belgium -> no fitting entry
German/Lichtenstein -> no fitting entry
German/Luxembourg -> no fitting entry
German/Switzerland -> no fitting entry

* "no fitting entry" means: there IS the item ".*(c)", but that is NOT what I am typing.

So, deleting ALL instances of "(c)" I could find in all languages I use (English, Japanese, German)
still does not change anything.
When I type "(c)" in a document with German as language setting, I invariably get the copyright mark.

Do I have to delete the "related" items in all the other German variants - which I NEVER use - too to make this work?
If this setting cannot be changed at all .. no offense, but that would be really stupid.

.*(c) looks like a regular expression. I don't know exactly what the interpretation of it is when doing autocorrection but I would suspect that these should also be deleted.

Well, I deleted the .*(c) from ALL German variants too.
Now, there is NOWHERE in the languages I use (English, Japanese, German) any such entry as (c),
but LO is still throwing the copyright mark at me.

This cannot be right.

Try ">Tools >AutoCorrect >Word Completion >English (US)".
Then delete everything in that list, and turn word completion off.

You probably will have to repeat that for every language that you have
collected words on.

There was at least one more list of words that OOo used for corrections,
but I don't remember where it was located, or how to turn it off. Nor
do I remember if that word list migrated into LibO. (List # 3, and that
isn't a miscount.)
