Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 48870
Cursor position gets relocated when context menu for AutoSpellCheck is called
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:44 UTC
I have recently been testing StarOffice 8; I know this facility is for OO, but the SO8 forum is now closed and I suspect the issue concerns OO 2.0. It used to happen that when right-clicking the red underlining, the curser would return to your last edit point, now it only goes as far as the end of the corrected word. I consider this a backward step.
Reassigned to SBA.
Seeing as this doesn't really prevent the normal use of the program, I think it would be better to mark this an enhancement.
SBA: See also enhancement issue 34425 : "Spellchecker always jumps back to cursor position where it was started". The behavior of the Spellcheck dialog (Always keeping the cursor position) is "reverse" to the Online spelling: Cursor will always be re-located to a highlighted word when the Online spellcheck context menu is called. I adjusted the summary to better reflect the findings. Confirmed and reassigned to Requirements.
