Bug ID: 105527
Summary: Improve readability of grammar and spelling errors
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
This is a feature request to improve readability of grammar and spelling
mistakes.
Steps to Reproduce:
Spelling and grammar errors are at this moment underlined with a thin wavy blue
line (only one pixel width).
It’s difficult to detect errors in a text with such a thin line, especially
with one-letter word.
If you type: “Il à faim” in French, with the grammar checker Grammalecte, the
word “à” is not correct and is underlined with a thin line that is not easy to
see.
We should underline errors with a thicker line: 2 or 3 pixels width instead of
1. I also think straight lines are much cleaner than wavy lines.
A grammar checker can report a lot of different grammar errors, and
typographical errors, and stylistic errors. But all these mistakes are
underlined with a thin wavy blue line.
Grammar checkers should be allowed to set the color of the errors they create.
LibreOffice should add an attribute the SingleProofreadingError structure. This
attribute could be named nColor or something similar.

So, to sum up this request, we should:
— thicken underlines, let users choose the width and the kind (wavy or
straight) of lines they want,
— let grammar checkers change the color of errors they report to LO.
I created a file with different possible underlinings.
