When I am typing "jira" in the Confluence editor, it incorrectly capitalizes it to "JIRA". This is problematic as it makes my documentation incorrect.
I have jira (and application data) installed at
- /usr/share/atlassian/jira
- /var/atlassian/application-data/jira
and not
- /usr/share/atlassian/JIRA
- /var/atlassian/application-data/JIRA
While I understand the product's name is JIRA, this is not necessarily true for urls and file-system paths and should not be automatically renamed to an incorrect value.

To Clarify on Jenny's point. This autocorrect rule is for Server customers.
I just checked in a couple of Cloud instances and the autocorrect in Chrome worked as follows:
JIRA -> Jira 
jira -> Jira
jiRA -> jiRA - and other variants are unchanged.
Ok, maybe it isn't the Confluence autocorrect, maybe it's the Chrome autocorrect. I tried editing a Confluence page in Safari, and "Jira" didn't change to "JIRA".
Hi Jenny, despite what you're saying, it looks like Confluence is NOT autocorrecting to "Jira". I'm on Confluence Cloud, and when I type "jira" or "Jira", it autocorrects to "JIRA". So I agree with the other comments since January.
The main problem for me is that, documentation is intentional and often the CASING and SPELLING are too.
Spell check is great BUT auto-correct isn't very good in this scenario. Everyone here has different requirements for the word "Jira" for the purposes of communication. This particular word often need emphasis wiki doco or conciseness in technical doco.
Ideally, the spelling of "Jira" would never be auto-corrected.
