How do I stop LibreOffice from removing forward slashes around text and making that text italic?

Question

When I type in LibreOffice:

/usr/dirk/documents

it is shown on the screen as

usrdirk/documents

The forward slashes around usr are gone, usr is shown in italics. Any idea which setting I have to make to get this working properly ?

See https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/a-word-that-is-between-two-slashes-italic/33704 — user535733, Nov 28 '21 at 15:45
Note that, if you think the "slashes to convert to italics" shortcut is otherwise useful for you in general, you can "undo" the conversion in this particular instance by pressing the 'undo' shortcut (typically Ctrl-Z) right after the autoconversion is performed. This is true for all autoconversions (including capitalizations, etc) — Tasos Papastylianou, Nov 29 '21 at 18:54

MSWord has (or used to?) give the opportunity to hit backspace to reject an unintended autocorrect. Does LO have something similar? – alfC Dec 03 '21 at 13:09
