One of the words, "term'd", appears twice in my 104 page document; the other word, "Imployment," appears 47 times in my document. In each case when I clicked Correct All (change term'd to termed and Imployment to Employment) then waited ten minutes, I never saw a message box stating "The spellcheck is complete." Further, I have been using LO Writer since its inception and have never seen that message in the Spelling (F7) function. In each of the cases stated above —where one misspelled word appeared twice and one appeared 47 times in my document, after I click Correct All and waited for ten minutes, not only did I not receive the message that the spellcheck is complete, in each case only the first instance of the misspelling was corrected. In my humble opinion, this bug still exists exactly as I first described it, and the "fix" or "workaround" suggested by Shantanu, I respectfully argue does not work at all. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
