Reproducible with Version: 6.4.4.1 (x64)
Build ID: b50bc319eca5cd5b66fbfe2ebd0d3bd1eed099b5
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

and LanguageTool 4.8 (2019-12-27 13:18, 72d565f)

A pre-requisite for testing is disabling LightProof Grammar Checker in Options->Language Settings->Writing Aids, and make sure LanguageTool is checked for English (USA) in Edit Modules dialog (Edit button of Available language modules in the mentioned options page).
Comment 3 Mike Kaganski 2020-05-25 07:08:36 UTC
The problem is that edit engine treats every \n as a new paragraph (node), while in Writer, that is just a line break. So the text split by line breaks comes as several paragraphs into the spell dialog's edit engine. The dialog processes its first paragraph's errors (using character properties, which are bound to that paragraph first and last indices); thus from the dialog's PoV, each processed error may not end in a next paragraph.

An error like "too\nsee" is reported by spelling checker, with SpellErrorDescription having sErrorText equal to "too\nsee", and a suggestion to change that to "to see". When user chooses to skip, SentenceEditWindow_Impl::RestoreCurrentError compares SpellErrorDescription::sErrorText with GetErrorText() - the latter returns only the part of the error that is on the first edit engine paragraph, i.e. "too"; as the strings differ, the dialog considers that as if user modified the text manually, and the "too" is "replaced back" with "too\nsee".

Caolán: do you have an idea how to fix this?
Comment 4 Mike Kaganski 2020-06-12 14:21:25 UTC
Michael: seeing the fix for tdf#131912, maybe you can see a fix for that - is it possible to change the spelling dialog's SentenceEditWindow_Impl::RestoreCurrentError implementation to not make replacements, but use some "undo" mechanism to return to a checkpoint?
Comment 5 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2020-06-12 14:44:44 UTC
that all sounds like an editengine problem? i don't know much about that.
Comment 6 Caolán McNamara 2020-06-16 08:11:27 UTC
I wonder if there's anything to be gained by replacing 0xa with 0xb at some point along the chain. IIRC editengine uses a different char for a hard newline

Dear Yakov,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
