The "multiple spaces" grammar error includes removed spaces in tracked changes. To reproduce: 1. Make a string of text with spaces 2. Turn on tracking changes 3. Delete one of the space, then hit the space bar The change tracking will show the added and removed space, but the grammar checker will report this at two spaces. It impossible to fix the grammar problem since any attempt to do so is tracked by the change tracker.
It looks like it is not just spaces, changes are used when computing any spelling or grammar error. For instance if you write a word, delete it, then write it again, it is shown as being a duplicate word even though one of the words doesn't actually "exist". If you type some random characters in the middle of a word then delete them, the word is shown as being a spelling error even though the "real" word is spelled correctly. So perhaps this should be changed to "spelling and grammar checker uses deleted characters when viewing changes", or something like that. When combined with bug 35746, which makes it hard to accept or reject changes when there are spelling or grammar errors, it makes it very hard to work with changes since they are counted as spelling or grammar errors but you can't right-click to accept or reject the change in order to fix the problem.

Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian
Confirmed. I reopen this issue. Deleted text shouldn’t be sent to the grammar checker.
