Spellchecking a full sentence with nonsensical suggestions
Two issues with spellchecker in writer.
First, after mistyping a word I finished the sentence, then went back to
correct the mistyped word (which I did by typing the missing letters where they
belong).
The squiggly red underline didn't go away immediately (the second issue,)
instead, all the words from the mistyped to the end of the sentence were
underlined in red. I can't recall when they got underlined (as I was typing or
afterwards,) however when I right-clicked I got the suggestions in the attached
screenshot.
Clearly Writer thinks the whole sentence is a word, or something similar, as
the suggestions are variations (some absurd) on the words and their endings.
The second issue is one of UI responsiveness. I remember submitting a patch to
lower the latency between changing the text and the spellchecking background
thread kicking in (this was in 4.3/4.4 transition time). Whatever happened, the
time Writer 4.4.3 is taking to refresh the spelling squiggles is the worst I've
ever seen. This is very frustrating to users as they have to second guess the
UI, especially after fixing a typo the red underline becomes a false alarm that
is distracting rather than helpful.
