Description: Misspelling a word in Hebrew when spell check is on results in writer hanging for several seconds. You simply have to wait for several long seconds until the word is determined as misspelled. At that point writer usually returns to life, but sometimes crashes and shuts down. In some cases trying to change spell checking settings in the 'spelling and grammar' dialogue also resulted in a long hand and often a crash. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run libreoffice on a windows machine with hebrew available (I reproduced this on about five different computers all running Hebrew version of windows, and had a new installation of libreoffice in Hebrew. I did not download a separate Hebrew dictionary, so can it be libreoffice is using one that comes with windows?) 2.make sure spell checking is on. 3.Begin typing a misspelled word, try שךדףגלכח. 4.Press space. Actual Results: After pressing space libreoffice hangs till the misspelled word is determined as such, only then one can resume working on document (if writer has not totally crashed). Expected Results: The automatic spell checking should no make writer hang, it should happen instantly without affecting user ability to work on his document, as its done in English.

it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Sorry, I was confused by the 'earliest affected'. The issue persists in version 5.3.
I reproduce on an ENGLISH version of windows 10 with a Hebrew keyboard Installed. A misspelled Hebrew word causes libreoffice to hang for several long moments, opening the 'Spelling and grammar' dialog results in a long wait and sometimes a crash. Misspelled English word even long ones are processed instantly without any delay. All this with libreoffice 5.3.
Could you please apply advice from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps ? Then could you indicate if you installed specific fonts or if you have MsOffice installed? Finally, could you try to get a backtrace from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#Windows:_How_to_get_a_backtrace ?
Followed the advice. Reproduced on a clean installation of LO, in a rather new installation of windows, never had MS Office installed and never installed any additional fonts. I attached the backtrace. Note: Libreoffice hangs every time without any exception.
Created attachment 130918 [details] Backtrace
Thank you for your feedback. Badfully, it's not a backtrace you attached. Since I don't use Windows for LO QA or dev, I can't help you for this point.
Created attachment 130919 [details] Try another backtrace Tried to make another backtrace, this one seems more informative. WinDbg did not pick up the hang so i had to use ProcDump to make a mini dump.
Far better! thank you! :-) Let's put this one to NEW since there's a bt.

On Win10 with master sources updated today with Hebrew UI, I don't reproduce this. I created a brand new odt file, copy paste שךדףגלכח + space, no slowdown or freeze. rellieberman: could you give a try with a recent LO version? (6.3.4 is last stable one).
