--- Comment #17 from Paul <[email protected]> ---
There is no practical reason I can see for the way this is currently set up,
except perhaps a meta shortage of development resources. The function's
usefulness is being seriously crippled. The only viable reason for deleting the
word completion list per session is privacy. On a multi-user or low-security
machine, a user might not want his word usage available to the next person. But
this concern would be easily handled by supplying an option to session-delete.

But far and away, most users would appreciate having their frequently used
words persistently available for auto-completion.


The other issue I have with word completion is the rudimentary state of the
suggestion popup. Even simple text editors, without exception in my experience,
offer a vertical menu of several possible word choices. This menu can be
quickly appraised by eye and then easily navigated with the up or down arrow or
mouse. Currently LO buries all but one candidate behind the ctrl-tab shortcut,
and even then they are fed to the user one shortcut-press at a time.
