Problem description: The set of words shown in the spell check dialog are not highlighted in the document - this makes it difficult, and frustrating, when the rest of the affected sentence or paragraph needs to be reviewed to choose the appropriate correction Steps to reproduce: 1. Start spell & grammar check 2. Dialog presents an error found with a suggestion 3. .... Current behavior: No indication in the body of the document being checked of the section (group of words or sentence) being referred to in the dialog Expected behavior: Shading of the section (group of words or sentence) being referred to in the dialog. Perhaps a light grey or other light coloured background Platform (if different from the browser): Window 7 Pro 64-bit Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.963.65 Safari/535.11
Created attachment 59056 [details] Screenshot showing search failure
The attached screenshot illustrates a situation where a search for the words shown in the spell check dialog were not found. I did this after I really needed to see the full context to decide how to correct the error. A visual search of the visible part of the document was unsuccessful, so I tried to search and as you can see this failed...
Indeed. Often the shown text contents in the spellcheck dialog is sufficient what correction might be the appropriate one, but sometimes you need more text contents, and its annoying to have to search for the text in the document. @Wyndham Clampett: I do not understand your screenshot and the related comment.

Yes, yes, yes! You have my vote! Wonder if making the wavy lines thicker would make a simple good-enough solution. Then again, some people might complain about that!
Design team: I think this would be good to evaluate, how to implement, any other things to consider?
Find & Replace highlights results in blue equally to a selection. Probably the easiest solution to implement. A bit weird since you can just select something else and resume spellchecking. But grey doesn't work much better as this looks more like fields. Scrolling ideally has an animation so the target wont pop-up suddenly. If the sentence goes over two pages it might be tricky to find a good position- would just ignore these corner cases. LBNL, optionally? Don't see why; maybe if users get annoyed by the scrolling.

(In reply to Kumāra from comment #7) > A sentence that goes over two pages? That probably needn't be considered. Don't mean that a sentence is as long as two pages but the widow part at the end of a page continued at the next. My take is to show the start of the sentence.
