Description Lajoes 2020-07-16 18:24:29 UTC
Description:
I am using Calc to inventory my DVD & BD movie collection. When I want to search my collection to see if I have a particular title, I will use the 'find' feature.  If the title has an apostrophe in it, 90% of the time it will not find the title, i.e., zero return. 

This problem came about while using 'spell checker' throughout the sheet.  It would always lock up on any word that had an apostrophe in it. 

If I tried to 'add the word to the [US English] dictionary, the search might continue, but would not add the word to the dictionary. I know because on the next spell check, the same cell would be highlighted and I would click on 'add word'. 

Actual Results:
1. Be able to add the word with an apostrophe to the dictionary.

Expected Results:
So it wont lock up and say this word doesn't exist.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I am not sure of exactly which version of LibreOffice I have, I am unable to just open the preview pane.

I have had this problem of Calc not finding any word with an apostrophe going back several release versions.  This is not a unique issue to this version.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
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.
