Priority: medium
Bug ID: 75922
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: Spelling and Grammar: English - "Correct All"
(Change All) button corrects only a single instance
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.4 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
I'm running OpenOffice 4.2.0.4 on Windows 7 (using the US-International
Keyboard).
When I run a Spelling and Grammar check and come across a misspelled word, the
"Correct All" button does not automatically correct every instance of the word
throughout the document. Instead, it functions exactly the same as the
"Correct" [Correct This Time Only] button, correcting only the single
highlighted instance. Because this bug can hugely increase the time and
attention required of users to run Spelling and Grammar checks, and increases
the likelihood of inconsistent corrections, it qualifies as MAJOR.
Related bugs, to be filed separately:
* The "Always Correct" button below the "Correct All" button in the actual
Spelling and Grammar module is undocumented and appears to be entirely
nonfunctional (i.e., it doesn't appear to do anything at all).
* The error correction buttons in the actual Spelling and Grammar module are
labeled "Correct", "Correct All", and "Always Correct". The help module and
online documentation (still?) refer to them as "Change" and "Change All". (As
noted earlier, the "Always Correct" / "Always Change" button seems to be
entirely undocumented.)
An unrelated bug, to be filed separately:
* After a new word is added to a dictionary, other instances of that word in
the Spelling and Grammar checker's text selection are still flagged as unknown.
The dictionaries are apparently not checked again until the checker has moved
on to a new text selection. (Example: The checker's selection includes the
sequence "Raggmopp! Raggmopp! Raggmopp!" The first Raggmopp is flagged as
unknown and the user adds it to a dictionary. The second Raggmopp is flagged,
despite having been added to the dictionary. Once the checker has moved on to a
different text selection, however, further instances of Raggmopp are no longer
flagged.)
