            Bug ID: 104592
           Summary: Spell check doesn't work with manual hyphenation
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Linguistic

Some words are written with hyphen: state-of-the-art, majority is not. With
Hunspell, we have two possibilities: treat hyphen as part of the word, or as
brake point so spell checker is checking every part of such compounded word
separately.

Let's say we choose first approach because suggestion mechanism is working
better this way. Now, hyphen is nothing more then character like every other
letter in alphabet. This is the way English dictionary is treating apostrophe.

If automatic hyphenation is enabled, hyphenated words are not marked as
misspelled when hyphenated at the very end of a line, but if I put hyphen
manually, words is flagged as misspelled.

Think that there should not be difference between automatic and manual
hyphenation. If hyphen causes word to break into another line, spell checking
should be preformed like word is not hyphenated at all.

Recapitulation: 'com-puter' is not flagged as misspelled if hyphenated like
this automatically, but it is if hyphen is inserted manually.
