Full stops automatically added in reviews
I am honestly not even sure if this is imdb-related or has to do with Firefox/Windows Update, but my guess is the former because it never happened to me on anothe website. I think I've have had it several times lately that when I write a review and stop in the middle of a sentence to change to another tab before continuing, it automatically adds a full stop there that I see when I return to the review tab in the exact position where I left off. Has anybody else experienced that? Is it a new feature or anything and if so, is there any way I can disable it?

Hi Horst -
Apologies for the delayed response. Is this still an issue?
As I understand, when you are writing a User Review and click on the "tab" button on your computer, a period is automatically placed at the end of the sentence?

Actually, I took a closer look and it is not just when I switch to a new tab, but also when I click somewhere else on the actual tab, basically the moment I leave the "writing field" that a period gets added immediately, but only if I did not add one myself.

Hi Horst -
Thanks for providing the additional information, I have reached out to our technical staff to review the automated full stops to confirm if this is intentional or a bug.
Once I have an update I will let you know here.
Cheers!

Allow me to give this another bump with a specific example.
When I included "i.e. blah blah" to a recent review, it would always capitalize the first "blah". I could not do anything against it. It happened automatically as I kept writing and even if after having finished the review I changed it back to a b and clicked on submit half a second later, it would still get corrected. Is there any way to fix it?
Another example would be "good vs. evil" where it automatically gets changed to "good vs. Evil". I mean obviously the workaround is to simply write "good vs evil", but maybe there is a way where you can simply not auto-correct stuff like that.
