#146 False positives with wasn't, hadn't etc.
I encountered the following bug today.
When typing a phrase like: "His girlfriend hadn't left him.", Languagetools underlines "hadn't" for me. When right clicking, I am informed that "The word hadn should probably be uppercase: "Hadn"."
I do not know why this error is caused, since, to me, it makes no sense. For troubleshooting purposes: The language I selected for the document was English UK, my localization (though this shouldn't play a role) is german (since I live in switzerland) and the interface language is Standard English (USA). In Languagetools, my selected mother tongue is "English". I have enabled all options in the languagetools options, so it may be that one of the selections makes this go haywire.
Note: The same problem also occurs with wasn't. I assume that it occurs in other instances though, but I haven't checked this yet.

Note: I have confirmed that this error also occurs when using "didn't".
I cannot reproduce this - is this the stand-alone version of LT? Could you attach a screenshot maybe?
Actually, dnaber, I already did when I made the bug report. The file is entitled: languagetoolsv19_bug.png, and shows the blue underline and the text that appears when you right click on it.
I can reproduce the problem in the stand-alone version when English (GB) is selected as language. No problem is reported when any other variant of English is selected.
Sorry for not noticing the screen shot... I still cannot reproduce the problem here. Which version of OpenOffice or LibreOffice are you using? Could you attach the *odt file that shows the error?
Can you still replicate this in LO with LT 2.0? I have used en-gb, but the error is not shown at all.
The cause of the bug must be some mistake in sentence segmentation but it's hard to say where it is.
Cannot reproduce without an *odt file that shows the problem.
