I put the following line in one of my Text Expander files:

::ph6::philatelic`n/philately`n/philatelist`n/philatelists

It works fine, but the capitalization doesn't work the same way as it does on a simple line - one shortcut, one word. If I were to type "Ph 6", "1", it would type out "philatelic", not "Philatelic".

So I added a second line:

::Ph6::Philatelic`n/Philately`n/Philatelist`n/Philatelists

This returns only lower-case letters, too, even though the possible expansions in that Text Expander entry are capitalized.

It's a bit of a problem because I edit a magazine for philatelists and use those words all the time. But it happens in other multiple-word shortcuts in other Text Expander files, too.

Any ideas on what might be going on? Thanks.

Ok, I tested this. The "Adjust to typed case" is not triggering when a Phrase file with multiple selections is used and the selection is made by typing a number. It works with all other combinations. We will try to address the issue in the next update release.

Until then, simply make a separate Text Expander item, Type Send, instead of using a Phrase file. Or make a selection using Up/Down/Enter keys or a mouse.
