When I enter text in lower-case, LibreOffice changes the first letter to a capital.

This behavior seeks to correct a sentence that you have forgotten to begin with a capital letter.

To remove this automatic correction:

• select Tools ▸ AutoCorrect ▸ AutoCorrect Options ▸ Options [tab];
• near the top of the list, uncheck Capitalize first letter of every sentence; and
• click OK to apply the changes.
