Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 58596
Replace command in spell check does not update immediately
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:19:31 UTC
I am running on a DELL PC with Redhat 4.0 with the newest updates. I started up the spell checker (Tools->Spellcheck->check) on a MS word document and it finds a spelling error. I select the correct spelling and press the "Replace" button and spell check moves on the the next spelling error, but the misspelled word is unchanged in the document! This also happens if I change the spelling in the word entry field and press "Replace" button. I was unable to find any bug report on this problem.
could you attach the document in question and give a step-by-step description of how to reproduce the problem?
Created attachment 32061 [details] MS 2003 word doc with spelling errors
Start up the word editor and browse to the "Test doc.doc" and open the file. Select Tools->Spellcheck->check and find the first spelling error. Either type in the correct spelling or select the correct spelling. Presss the replace button. The spell checker moves to the next spelling error but the miss spelled word you just replace is not replace. This also happens if I start from scratch with new document in the editor without loading a file. Type in some miss spell words and then start up the spell checker. Select correct spelling and press replace button. etc. The only other tool I used so far is gedit and it's spell checker works ok. This problem is happening to all our users in the lab. Could this be a Red Hat 4 problem?
I can partly reproduce the problem (OOo 2.0.1 RC2 Windows XP Pro SP2): open the attached doc, make sure you have an english language dictionary installed, start spellcheck, for the first misspelled word, select test from the list of suggestions; if you click 'change', the word is not immediately replaced; only after you change the second misspelled word (not the number) via 'change', the first word is replaced.
Reassigned to SBA.
