Description thedeadlysarcasm 2023-02-09 12:55:55 UTC
Description:
After upgrading to LibreOffice version 7.5.0.3, spell check in Writer has stopped working correctly, even on a fresh installation (uninstalled LibreOffice entirely, deleted the local data folder including user account, reinstalled, rebooting in-between each step).

Locale is it-IT, spell check in en-UK.

When working on a document and trying to spell-check it, it runs through the document as expected, until it reaches a specific paragraph; after that point, it stops working entirely, the only possible choices being "correct" and "correct all" or exiting the spell checker entirely, despite no incorrect word being highlighted. The language is still displayed as "English (UK)", but exiting the spell checker and starting it back up again, it displays "[none]" as language.

It's almost as if something in that specific paragraph is "tripping up" the spell check, making it stop working.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open document
2. Run spell check
3. Continue through spell check until a specific paragraph

Actual Results:
Spell check stops working.

Expected Results:
Spell check proceeds as normal.


Reproducible: Always
