Description Samuel ORTION 2020-10-17 10:26:30 UTC
Hi there,
While trying to create my own Dictionary for scientific words, to avoid inopportune spelling check, I encountered a slight disapointment.

In "Right click [on misspelled word]/Spelling.../Options.../Edit...[after having created a new dictionnary]'  (i.e. in 'Edit Custom Dictionary'),
when I type a letter while Language selection list is focused, (e.g typing 'f' for French for instance), it selects directly the first language that starts by this letter (e.g. 'Faroese' by default) and proposes directly to choose this language with the 'Confirmation' box ("Do you want to change the 'scientific [English (UK)dictionary language" for instance).

I'd personnally prefer that, when I type a single letter, it selects the first concerned language, but wait for an other keyboard action ('pressing Enter' for instance) to launch the confirmation box.
(As commonly in the case of a selection list)

It is not a really important issue, but it could improve a little the ergonomics of LibreOffice.

Yours sincerely,

I confirm it with

Version: 7.0.3.1 (x64)
Build ID: d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Steps to reproduce
1. Put cursor in a misspelled word
2. right click => Spelling => Options => Edit
3. Click in Language selection => [All] is highlighted
4. Try to type "France"

Result: Faroer is selected and a dialog appears.

Tested with

Version: 7.4.2.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 1726efbecd001a1fe871cba3e00e71283688f34d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Steps to reproduce
1. Put cursor in a misspelled word
2. right click => Spelling => Options => Edit
3. Click in Language selection => German is selected (at least with my settings)
4. Try to type "France"

Result:
with typing in normal speed first country with that character is selected. Fast typing selects language (not sure about selecting specific country).

But for the moment I would say RESOLVED WORKSFORME
