Description Gordon 2020-06-27 18:28:32 UTC
Description:
Opening some docs the word count in the lower bar shows an error. Commonly the sum of 914 words is shown despite the real count being in the thousands.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open file!
2.Word count settles on 914
3.Select all settles on 10,252 (assumed accurate)
Version: 6.3.6.2 (x64)
Build ID: 2196df99b074d8a661f4036fca8fa0cbfa33a497
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-CA (en_CA); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Actual Results:
Word count is incorrect. When select all is taken off total immediately reverts to 914 no matter what the correct total is and we're talking in some cases 30,000 or so words.

Expected Results:
This is annoying. As a writer the word count is often of critical importance to me for work purposes. I am often limited in what I can publish numbers wise. This started to show up after the previous update 6.3.5


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
