Auto-Capitalize not effective after multiple periods

Running Android 2.1 and SK-PRO v. 3.13.0, Danish.
With auto-capitalize checked multiple periods (ie. ".." and "..." etc.) does not result in the following word being spelled with a capital letter.
Using exclamation marks it works. It would be very nice if this could be fixed.

Hello
It's not a bug, it's a feature
I don't know Danish grammar, but at least in English and French, a capital letter is not required after an ellipsis, it only depends on the context. You can perfectly use an ellipsis inside a sentence, and in that case having the keyboard auto-capitalize would be a bit painful.

Ah, alright. I see. Is there some command so I can make it auto-cap with the auto-replace feature?

Well, no... some development would be required to get this feature

Well, unless I add "... a" --> "... A" etc. for all, i suppose. I use multiple periods quite a lot, so it might just be worth it!

No, actually you can't do this, as period is a word separator, you cannot use it in a shortcut

If this feature could be made a choice rather than mandatory it would improve the usefulness for, well, at least me. I hope you will consider it.
Best,
