Bug #: 43789
Summary: SPELL: Option for "Check spelling as you type" needs
to be selectable between LibO applications
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.4 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Linguistic component
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Using LibO on Windows XP.
There is an option under Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids called
"Check spelling as you type". This is extremely useful in Writer: it
highlights potential misspellings as soon as you have typed them, and you do
not have to run the spellchecker manually to find them.
However, it is a real irritation having this turned on when using Calc: many
formula names are highlighted as misspellings (since they are not real words),
and this is an application where you are much more likely to enter abbreviated
and cryptic text, which would also be highlighted. Although I have not yet
used them, I can imagine similar irritations would surface in Base and Math.
Therefore we really need the ability to set this option per application, e.g.
turned on in Writer, Draw and Impress, turned off in Calc, Base and Math (or
any other permutation, at the user's discretion). I guess one way to show this
in the Options dialog box would be still to have the set of global settings,
but then also to have under each application heading a further set of settings,
where each option could be 'on', 'off' or 'use global setting'. That would
satisfy those users who would still want just global settings for these
options.
I appreciate that there is a toolbar button to change this option, but using it
changes the global option, so you have to keep switching it on and off as you
switch between LibO applications. It would be really nice if this toolbar
button changed the setting just for the current open document, and if different
documents, even those open within the same application, could have different
settings!
