Have a nasty regression in Apple OS X accessibility fdo#74121 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74121 Looks to have been caused by an AOO contributed refactoring attempting to isolate VCL Window type naming from NS Window and NS View type naming. Something was not quite correct

Just discovered we have a pesky regression we picked up on the 4.1 - 4.2 transition with the Spelling dialog F7 not resetting underline of the misspelled words when corrected. All seems correct if the spelling is corrected with context menu. So, suspect it to be mishandling of the bPaintWrong

UOF v2.0, the PRC national XML standard for Chinese Office documents--what to do with it in LibreOffice?
