--- Comment #2 from Ryo Furue <[email protected]> --- Thank you for your input. > In my opinion this not a bug. > Which kind of context menu appears > depends on the word on which you double-click. > If this word is correct, then the normal context > menu appears. If this word has a typing error, > then the spellchecker context menu appears. First of all, let's NOT ask whether this is a bug or not. Let's ask whether this is a desirable behavior. I don't think it is. My argument is as follows. There are TONS of applications---browsers, text editors, drawing tools, presentation software, PDF viewers, etc.---on which you can select a portion of text, right-click on it, and copy it to the clipboard. Think about it. There are TONS of them. Users, including me, are used to the behavior. That's a very, very common behavior. You can say it's "the" standard behavior. As far as I know, LibreOffice Impress is the only application that sometimes fails to offer a "copy" option on a text selection. You can imagine how irritating that is. So, please include "copy" and "cut" (or "delete") in the context menu, even when spellchecker kicks in. Second, what you say is not entirely true. > If this word is correct, then the normal context > menu appears. If this word has a typing error, > then the spellchecker context menu appears. What I experience is different. Write a piece of text containing several misspelled words and correct ones. By mouse-dragging, choose a portion of the text and right-click on it. If the selection is a single misspelled word, the spellchecker menu always appears, as you describe. But, if the selection includes both correct and misspelled words, the spellchecker menu appears in some cases and the normal menu (including "copy") appears in other cases. Which menu appears seems to be random to me. (I don't understand the rules that determines it.) So, the current behavior is worse than you describe. We can call this part "a bug", I think. But, even if it's not a bug, the behavior needs fixing. Third, is it a good idea to have the spellchecker menu on right-click? I think it's too much intrusion. Think about a situation where there are foreign personal names the dictionary doesn't know and you want to copy a portion of text including those names. The intrusion of spellchecker is simply annoying. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
