Oh yeah. Sorry, I mean 1.6.8. I haven't changed any software components that I can think of, apart from updating LyX itself. I guess the last time I used the spellchecker was about 14 months ago, so that was probably LyX 1.6.4. It seems to happen even with a new document, at least for the word "introduction". I'm not really sure how to provide more diagnostic information, or how replicable the bug is on other systems, so perhaps submitting a bug report is not very useful. I might just wait for the beta to hit rc instead, which seems like soon! Cheers, Pete.
