I recently use LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 and 4.0.2.2 to transcribe in a meeting. I typed very fast and I notice that often the word suggestion often suggests wrong words, even words that don't exist. For example, if I begin to type "attention", then in the middle, say, after the second "n", it will look for words that begin with "n", instead of "atten". So it will suggest words such as "atteneither", etc. I found that this kind of error would happen sporadically, and ONLY when I type really fast. It appears to me that the bug has to do with a race condition among several threads. I can't provide screenshot right now; I will upload one if I can encounter the bug again soon. Settings: * Language: English (USA) * I turned off spell checking * In word completion dialog box, I chose: [v] enable word completion [ ] append space [ ] show as tip [v] collect words [ ] when closing a document ... Accept with: [Return] Min word length: [6] Max entries: [5000] * OS: Linux Debian 6.0.7, x86_64, kernel 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64, GNOME 2 desktop
Confirmed for LO 4.0.3.3 in Linux Mint Debian Edition amd64, German l10n & language. I noticed the same behavior since updating from LO 3.x, rendering Autocomplete worthless. Obviously a regression. This might also explain several reports about Writer crashes while simply typing? I have also already experienced such crashes!
I believe this bug is the same as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62643 .
