Description:
The German spellchecker (de_DE / de_AT dictionaries) marks the capital letter “ẞ” as incorrect.
The uppercase letter “ẞ” has been officially part of German orthography since the spelling reform and is commonly used in fully capitalized words (e.g., names or headings).
Steps to reproduce:
- Open LibreOffice (e.g., Writer)
- Set the language to German (Germany)
- Type a word containing uppercase “ẞ”, for example:
STRAẞE
- The spellchecker marks the word as incorrect
Expected behavior:
Words containing correctly used “ẞ” should be accepted by the German dictionary and not be flagged as spelling errors.
Actual behavior:
The word is flagged as incorrect even though it is orthographically correct.
