Description: When finding a misspelled word spellcheck offers replacement of current word with proposed correct version (button "change") or all occurrences throughout the text (button "change all"). Both buttons replace only the current word. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create text document with N (2 or more) occurrences of a word that does not exist (e.g. "Lorem" from a lorem ipsum generator) 2. start spellcheck 3. replacement of said word will be offered ("Loren" in above example) 4. press "replace all" 5. stop spellcheck and see how many occurrences of the word are left in the text Actual Results: N-1 unreplaced words are in the text Expected Results: 0 words unreplaced Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.1.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 8a45595d069ef5570103caea1b71cc9d82b2aae4 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (de.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded
Created attachment 173409 [details] blind text with 26 occurrences of the word Lorem
Could trace the problem back to LO 6.4: Version: 6.4.7.2 Build ID: 639b8ac485750d5696d7590a72ef1b496725cfb5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-GB (de.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded And I just saw that the labels on the buttons in English are "correct" and "correct all".
confirm in Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0d4cbdbc9cd4ab06056cec66cffd292b41615b6e CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Steps 4: the labels on the buttons in English are "correct" and "correct all".
This bug has existed for at least five years, probably longer. Ignore all does not work, either. The spellcheck function has been so severely broken now for at least a year that I often have to spellcheck with hunspell separately, outside LibreOffice. It broke badly somewhere between one year and two years ago. Most of the bugs in LO spellcheck are in the UI - there's probably a day or two worth of work needed just to report all the bugs. But I see many bugs are already reported: opened, many new, many unassigned. One clue I can offer is that the number of problems you'll experience in trying to use Writer's spellcheck UI seems proportional to the number of spelling errors. E.g. if you use it to try to correct errors in text mixed in with a programming language (so you add local dictionary additions to allow all the program's 'words' to spellcheck the genuine text parts), you'll quickly discover bizarre behaviour and failures in the UI. (Look through the many reports of problems and you'll experience all those reported bugs and more.)
I see there are tons of issues with the LibreOffice UI. Many problems seem to related to the Mac (modifier buttons in Draw, printing, document handling). I am contemplating moving to FreeBSD just so I can stay with LibreOffice. Does anyone know if spellchecking works better on other platforms?
