Yes, I agree. >> But as mentioned there erroneous use of apostrophes as single quotes should >> not lead to a non-functioning spell checker. > > Sure. IMHO the spell checker correctly rates this spelling as wrong, but of > course, Ignore and Find Next should work. "Find Next" seems not such a big issue here. When I do it it says "String not found!" - at least when using it twice. "Ignore" is more difficult. It tries to add the word with apostrophe but the speller (perhaps) silently strips that apostrophe and LyX thinks it can start over with checking at that position and the speller marks it again as error. As JMarc said we should try to strip the apostrophes ourself somehow. I'll think about it and propose a patch later. > > But then, the description of the bug is wrong, since this is _not_ a quote > character. Thank you for correcting that. Stephan
