Some time ago, Gnumeric grew an intensely annoying "feature": it assumes

totally wrong.  Is there any way to disable it in Gnumeric 1.0.10?


It is a completely optional part of the MS Excel feature called
'AutoCorrect' some people love it the rest of us get irrate at the
thought.
 
Tools -> AutoCorrect

will bring up a dialog that will let you configure just how
irritating.  In 1.1 I've trimmed the behavior to only start
completing after 3 characters even when you do enable the feature.

Apart from that, though, Gnumeric *rocks* -- well done all!

thanks.  1.1 is significantly better.  Lots of new toys and speed.
