Description: When I add a word to the dictionary (right-click > Add to Dictionary), Writer makes me choose between my custom dictionary and 'standard.dic'. I want to add all new items to my custom dictionary because 1) I do not understand the use of a 'standard.dic' which is of no language ("lang: <none>") and 2) because I lose time by the additional mouse operation. So I go to Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids > User-defined Dictionaries. While selecting my custom dictionary, I deselect 'standard [All]' and close the dialog with OK. Next time I right-click on an unknown word, the choice between the custom and the standard dictionaries pops up again. I now again open the options and find the 'standard [All]' selected. Result: 1) While it ought to be possible to deselect the 'standard.dic' for building one's custom dictionary, this is actually impossible. 2) Writer misleads and frustrates the user by the behavior described. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids > User-defined Dictionaries 2. Deselect 'standard [All]', OK. Actual Results: 1. In the document, click on an unknown word: standard.dic is offered. 2. Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids > User-defined Dictionaries: 'standard [All]' is selected. Expected Results: Standard.dic should remain deselected and should not be offered for storing a new word. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I realize I could, in the standard.dic, change the line 'lang: <none>' to 'lang: de-DE and then use it as my custom dictionary. However, I need a custom dictionary for each language I am using; there is no "standard" here.

Idem for LibreOffice 7.3, LibreOffice 7.4, LibreOffice 7.5, and LibreOffice 7.6 I don't know if it is a configuration matter of LibreOffice or if this option disappears in the latest versions of LibreOffice. > 3.
