Hey bnp2012@gmx.com,

Thank you for reporting the bug. 

It looks like you are using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you try reproducing it with the latest version of LibreOffice? You can download the latest version from here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/

I have set the bug's status to "NEEDINFO." If you confirm that the bug is still present in the latest version change it back to "UNCONFIRMED."

I used the word "Believe" misspelled as "Believve" and it seemed to be working fine in the following 2 version I tested it on:

bnp2012: just to check, did you have the text language set to the appropriate one?
