Jira Deactivate autocorrect in Jira issues, comments, etc

Question

I'd like to disable autocorrect in Jira issues and comments.

I've hunted through the Jira help but have found nothing for 'autocorrect', 'auto correct', 'spellcheck' or 'spell check'.

I've also hunted through the Confluence questions and there are no solutions there either.

It's not my browser doing autocorrect as I can type JIRA without being corrected, but if I do the same IN Jira, it's converted to lower-case.

I've hunted through Jira settings and can only find a global autocorrect which is turned ON.

Jira version is -

Jira ba799f21

OMG make it stop! The new UI has some sort of autocorrect when filtering or searching for tickets, I use the backlog view / tab (now) and it takes me a few times to get the autocorrect to ignore itself and just let me type. We use all sorts of acronym's as keywords and it's driving me crazy, or we have product names with specific spelling we use, and autocorrect changes this while typing.

* need the ability to turn on/off per user preferences
* need a global ignore/accept list, example: if I type a word/acronym can I add it to an exception list where autocorrect is ignored?

The plain-text comment editor in JIRA is not afflicted with this misfeature, so using switching to using that is an option if, like me, you resent JIRA tampering with your own words.

Autocorrection is super annoying - I one ticket - ten sentences and in each sentence Jira changes my words to different ones !!! I am typing eg. words / names / abbreviations which this autocorrect feature do not knows and it is silently changing it by just typing in... grrrrr !!!!

Please developers / PO - switch off this feature - which is making the life more difficult and causing extra work, extra time and causing Jira useless when writing anything in "local" language - which is the case for majority of WORLD !!!

I still would like to have Jira UI in EN, but ticket texts in local language, so please stop immediately doing this autocorrection !!!
