I think you misunderstood the problem actually. It's not that you can't select
multiple words at the same time. I know that's not possible. It's that that you
could hit the delete button multiple times, and it will appear to delete all of
the words that you selected individually, and then hit the delete button for.
Those words will be gone from the dictionary for the remainder of the session.
However, if you close and restart OpenOffice again, all of those words are
back. This is clearly a bug. Not a feature request. For some reason, if you
delete multiple words in the dialog, the deleted words aren't actually getting
removed from the .dic file.

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Add some wprds to the dictionary.
(2) Open the edit dictionary dialog.
(3) Select a word and click delete. The word disappears.
(4) Select another word and click delete. That word also disappears.
(5) Close the dialog.
(6) Both words now show up as incorrect, as expected.
(7) Close and restart OpenOffice
(8) Expected results: Both words should be gone from custom dictionary. Actual
results: Neither word deletion was actually persisted to the .dic file, and so
both words are indicated to be correct again.

On further examination, it appears that sometimes even when deleting single
words, the deletion doesn't actually persist to the dictionary file.

The reason I filed all of the issues as one bug report is because I suspect
they are related to each other. For example, I strongly suspect the inability
to remove some words from the dictionary is being caused by multiple copies of
the same word in the dictionary if you actually look at the .dic file in a text
editor. These multiple copies of the same word don't show up in the dialog
itself. Only if you look at the raw text file in a text editor.
