Description Beth Metzler 2023-02-25 23:22:39 UTC
Description:
Since I've downloaded LibreOffice 7.5.0.3 the spell check feature is not working at all. It only checks the first sentence and then freezes. I have also lost the saved dictionary that I had from all of my previous versions. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type in a paragraph of 3 or more sentences.
2.Run the spell check feature (press F7 or Tools then Spelling)
3.

Actual Results:
I have typed two different documents (one 7 pages and one 5 pages) and attempted to perform the spell check it goes to the first sentence of the page and then freezes.

Expected Results:
For the spell check to start at the first word of the document and go through the document finding any misspellings or grammatical errors and allow me to change them to the correct spelling with either my input from my keyboard or choosing an option given by the program.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I have been using this program (which I love) to type journals of my grandmother. These journals go from 1976 through 2019 (about a week before her death) and I have finished all of the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, and am through August 2002 in the other  (older) versions of LibreOffice and have not had an issue with the spell check until this version. I have September 2002 and October 2002 that I have done in this new version and the spell check just does not work.

Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode

I have restarted in Safe Mode and spell check is still not working correctly. It will only check the sentence that the cursor is at.

Hi Beth! Thank you for the report.

This sounds like bug 152738, which is fixed for the next version 7.5.1.
Could you please see if that next version resolves your issue? -> https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/?version=7.5.1
