Peter I am one of the Forum Volunteers and the person who raised the spellcheck problem. I did so because it is the most common problem reported in the User Forum - we sometimes get several posts a week! eg June 7, June 5, May 29, May 25, May 14 ... We are GUESSING that the reason is because users do not shut down properly, probably slamming the laptop lid shut. We have no knowledge. (And, shouldn't the OS handle slamming the lid shut gracefully????) The reasons for our GUESS are: 1 We THINK, but we do not know, that the profile is the last thing to be written when AOO is closed. 2 We KNOW that when AOO closes, it continues to write files long after the "blue bar" has ceased to cross the bottom of the screen. Users see the blue bar finish and think all is finished - it is not! We THINK this is writing the profile after the document file has been saved. My suggestion: hanya wrote a python script which fixes spellcheck problems - see Spell checker "red wriggly lines" - beta test fix at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=85529. If this script is included in the AOO download then the forum could tell people to run the script. As it is today, we have to tell them to download the ZIP file containing the script, unzip the file, create a folder in the profile (case sensitive name!), install the script, and then run it. Alternatively, we tell them to rebuild the profile. Just replacing the profile with the AOO default profile loses all the user customisation, AutoCorrect words, user dictionary etc, and all macros get lost. In fact we GUESS that the corruption lies only in C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\config\ and suggest they replace all other folders except ...\config. If you could give us any suggestions for debugging we will be very pleased to help you. We unfortunately do not know enough about how the program works, or programming code to do a better diagnosis. We recognise you are a small team who are doing a great job with very limited resources and wish there was a way we could help more. Users volunteer that they find AOO is much more stable than LO - see Please redirect users to LibreOffice at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=87149 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
