Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 128296
AOO Writer - Spellchecker: glitch
Last modified: 2022-11-21 17:39:27 UTC
Created attachment 86844 [details] dummy file to be used in test Steps to reproduce: I. Glitch ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. open document in AOO Writer (I have attached a dummy file .odt) 2. Go to the end of document - Ctrl+End. 3. choose: Tools > Spelling and Grammar You shall see two windows: Spellchecker (inactive) and above it message box from OpenOffice. Notice bottom part of inactive window, the area with 4 buttons. 4. Choose: "Yes" 5. Observe what has happened to layout of window, the area with 4 buttons has moved upwards and damaged the layout. (see attached screen capture) II. Wrong repositioning of cursor ------------------------------------ 1. Place the cursor in any line but not at the beginning of it. Do not select any part of text. 2. choose: Tools > Spelling and Grammar 3. Cancel operation: press "Close" button or Alt-F4 or click Red-X box The text cursor moves to the beginning of line. This is wrong and should not happen, bearing in mind that operation was CANCELLED by user. Maybe this bug is somehow related to various issues on Spellchecker subject already posted e.g. Issue 34425 and Issue 34425.

Please don't put two topics into one issue. The best would be to clone this issue only with the second part. I will therefore concentrate on Part I. In: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/blob/trunk/main/cui/source/dialogs/SpellDialog.cxx#L459 The dialog gets resized. This is working as designed for the dialog size and the buttons but somehow it is forgotten to resize the surrounding box also. Unfortunately this is beyond my capabilities, so a developer must take over.
Seems to be Windows only. I can not replicate it on Ubuntu 16.04.

I take your admonishment seriously and will gladly accept any punishment.
No punishment! ;-) Just split the issue... But I even can not replicate this on Windows 7 with AOO 4.1.7. I can only confirm it for AOO42X on Windows 10.

Maybe my laptop is haunted... or is ahead of his time/prophetic since you confirm that glitch on AOO42X on Windows 10. my Configuration: AOO 4.1.7. Windows 64-bit AOO: Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages: - User Interface: Engliss (USA) - Default language for document - Western - English (USA) > Enhanced language support - both options checked (ON) Apart from that, no tweaks in AOO.
Very odd! I could now replicate it with AOO 4.1.7 on Windows 10 (64-bit), but not on Windows 7 (32-bit).
And just for the record: "Spellchecker - wrong repositioning of cursor" is now in Issue 128297.

No, I am trying to find a pattern. Your Windows (7?) is in 64-bit?
(In reply to Matthias Seidel from comment #10) > No, I am trying to find a pattern. > > Your Windows (7?) is in 64-bit? I've already written in Comment #6: "my Configuration: AOO 4.1.7. Windows 64-bit". Anyhow I repeat: Windows 64-bit, Home Premium May computer and OS are haunted :-)))
Of course it is Windows 7, 64-bit, Home Premium Now, you see - my computer, my OS and myself are haunted :-))))
That was easier than I thought. Hopefully fixed with: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commit/943347cda5673631c0bff5f4d680d94ae0933622
Forgot to mention: Cherry-Picked for AOO42X
(In reply to Matthias Seidel from comment #14) > Forgot to mention: > > Cherry-Picked for AOO42X I am very grateful for that information. And must reply with the following one. After digging deep in Bugzilla (Use the search, Luke!) I have discovered that similar issue had been already posted - Issue 125531 (see attachment thereto "Buttons displaced at bottom of spell check dialog"). So history does repeat itself. Hope we learn something from it.
Cherry-Picked for AOO418
