Testing with:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 1b06f35de68a555b85bceb5fc29d1a5f426f4bb7
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR
Calc: threaded

- Only "Word spacing" selected: Underlines groups of 2 or 3 spaces.
- Only "More spaces" selected: Only underlines 4 and above spaces.
- "Word spacing" and "More spaces" selected: all multiple spaces underlined.

This actually matches the tooltip for "More spaces", currently: "Check more than two extra space characters between words and sentences."
Admittedly, an awkward wording: "more than two extra spaces" is "more than 2 + 1", so "4 and above".

So in my opinion, it's the tooltips that need fixing:

- Word spacing: "Detect 2 or 3 spaces between words."
- Sentence spacing: "Detect 2 or 3 spaces between sentences."
- More spaces: "Detect 4 or more spaces between words and sentences."

In any case, I think these three settings should be grouped along with "Sentence spacing".

I changed the summary accordingly.

Hossein, could this be an easy hack?

Dear AAAA,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
