Created attachment 113560 [details] Screenshot of default spellcheck missing all capitalized mispelled words. By default the spellcheck option "Check uppercase words" is disabled. This option should be enabled by default as it allows all capitalized mispelled words to remain in important documents that typically make use of all caps headers including resumes, reports, etc. I was personally bitten by this bug already in a critical document and cannot believe that this option is disabled by default. It is much less harmful to enable this option by default and have a user disable it if they choose to. I want to continue to use Libre Office but more sensical defaults like this need to be enabled to match those of larger office suites. Egg-on-the-face moments like this are what cause users to stop using software.
@Julien: you might be interested in taking this one; feel free to remove yourself from CC if it’s not your turf :)
