Can't add autocorrect exception consisting of two letters

Studio keeps changing for instance "ID-kort" to "Id-kort". So I want to add "ID" as an exception. But it won't let me add it. Seems the Add button is disabled for words consisting of less than three letters.

Trados Studio AutoCorrect Exceptions window with 'ID' entered in 'Dont correct:' field and the 'Add' button disabled, highlighted in red.

    This is the same behaviour as in Word (and this feature was based on Word in the first place), as you cannot add an exception with two letters there either.

    However, Word will not autocorrect any two letters followed by a hyphen as it assumes this is an intended string whereas Studio does not.  I think there could be arguments for either being correct, but given Studio also doesn't let you override this it seems like something that should be addressed.  I'll log it with support and see if they agree... if they do we can raise a bug and get it changed.
