------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Dec 17 01:51:10 +0000 2009 ------- I didn't even know about this feature, until I had to delete my user preferences file due to other problems and it got turned on with the new auto-generated user preferences file. Then it started willy-nilly suggesting misspelled words. I now understand this is because it "collected" words I had previously made typos with when I typed them. To me it just does not make any sense that just because I don't have automatic spell checking turned on, I want the autocomplete function to collect misspelled words. I find the red squiggly lines annoying. That doesn't mean I think everything I type is correct. I use F7 to spell check. In the end, having misspelled words, because of typos, in the autocomplete word list completely undermines the functionality of the feature. I understand that people may want to collect words that are not in the dictionary. But the default behavior as it stands seems really flawed to me. It doesn't really serve people who don't want world collecting spellchecked, any better than those who do. Unless you are a 100% perfect typist and speller, you're going to get errors. Perhaps if you have automatic spell checking turned off, the word collection function should ask before it collects a word that's not in the dictionary, either at the instance that it collects the word or when you close the document it could present a list of words. Or it could spell check new autocomplete words, when you run the spellchecker with F7. I recognize that there may not be a super elegant solution to this situation. But as it stands the feature seems really flawed and self-defeating to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
