Bug ID: 158567
Summary: Right-click on misspelled words only offers
spelling-related functions, no formatting options
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In Impress and Writer, if one right-clicks on a word that the current
spellcheck says is misspelled, one only gets spelling/correction-related
options, which can be annoying as hell. Maybe I don't want to bullied into
correcting the word's spelling, adding it to the dictionary, ignoring all, etc.
-- maybe I just want to italicize or clone the formatting. The fact that
LibreOffice thinks it needs to force me to deal with what IT thinks is most
important first rather than let me decide what I want to do is a first-class
usability dud. The app should
- either offer all options as usual PLUS the spelling-related ones (preferred
option);
- or offer an option whether the user can say which of the two kinds of context
menus it is supposed to offer when the user clicks on a misspelled word.
Sorry, but having the app just say "Screw you, I won't even allow you do do any
other context menu stuff before you deal with my spelling opinions" is just
plain stupid and this has been like this for as long as I can remember.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mistype a word so that LO labels it misspelled
2. right-click on it
3. curse the app
Actual Results:
stupid context menu
Expected Results:
useful context menu
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
BLAHHH, there is no other info
