Bug ID: 171188
Summary: The spellchecker very often stops to check in real
time
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The steps about how the bug is triggered are not clear, but it seems that when
there are already marked typing errors inside of a paragraph, the spellchecker
doesn't mark the next typing errors, until you press the Enter or, sometime the
Canc key. It could be related to the not visible <span> tags, that LibreOffice
insert in the document.
1) Write a sentence, or a series of sentences without pressing the enter key,
composing a paragraph.
2) Put the cursor back on the sentence, or in the paragraph and modify two
words wrongly.
-> The spellchecker marks the error immediately after you move the cursor away
using the cursor keys or the mouse pointer.
3) Somewhere in the paragraph press Enter and then the back button, as if you
want break a sentence, or merge 2 sentences.
4) Modify another word wrongly and move the cursor away from the word using the
cursor key or the mouse pointer.
-> The spellchecker doesn't mark the error. Only after you press the Enter or
Canc key, the errors are marked. Sometime, even if you press Enter, it doesn't
work. You have to press Enter in some specific area of the paragraph, to let it
work.
It is really annoying, because you can oversee small errors in a long block of
text.
It is not a new bug, it affects LibreOffice since ever, as far I remember.
The spellchecker of MS Office and Outlook have not this problem.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Write a sentence, or a series of sentences without pressing the enter key,
composing a paragraph.
2) Put the cursor back on the sentence, or in the paragraph and modify two
words wrongly.
-> The spellchecker marks the error immediately after you move the cursor away
using the cursor keys or the mouse pointer.
3) Somewhere in the paragraph press Enter and then the back button, as if you
want break a sentence, or merge 2 sentences.
4) Modify another word wrongly and move the cursor away from the word using the
cursor key or the mouse pointer.
-> The spellchecker doesn't mark the error. Only after you press the Enter or
Canc key, the errors are marked. Sometime, even if you press Enter, it doesn't
work. You have to press Enter in some specific area of the paragraph, to let it
work.
Actual Results:
The spellchecker stops to check in real time.
