   Calc auto-completes with previous entries in the same column which match   
   what's been typed so far.  The matching is case-insensitive, but when it   
   fills in the completed text it changes to the same capitalisation as the   
   previous entry.  After it's done that, you can undo (Ctrl+Z) the case   
   matching to get what you typed.  I've previously found that Ctrl+A to   
   select all the text before pressing Enter would prevent any automatic   
   changes - but that doesn't seem to work in my current version (7.3.6).   
      
   You might also want to go back and change those previous entries to the   
   correct capitalisation - then I think it should correct the   
   capitalisation for you in future (rather than "incorrect"ing it!)

   I think this is something separate from auto-correct.  Not sure if   
   there's a separate option for it somewhere.
