1) Set on Automatic spell checking using English language. 2) Write this text in a slide: Skdjaf jksdfh the car is red dskfh skdjfh 3) Select the whole text - If you right click on the "car" word the behavior is as expected (the context menu is showed). - If you right click on a misspelled word the text is unselected, and only the misspelled word is selected. You can recover the selection if you right click in any place. In think that this behavior is confusing. You could think, that it is designed to work in this way, but this behavior is different from the one obtained in writer. In writer the selection never change with a right click. Perhaps this bug is similar to 62745, but I think that it is not the same, because 62745 doesn't address the select/unselect aspect.

The bug persists in LibreOffice 6.0.
Additionally, you can't copy a misspelled word using the contextual menu because the copy option does not appear.

The bug is present in 6.4.2.
Correcting earliest version
a) Also in AOO4111m1(Build:9808) - Rev. bdb20b2a64 2021-09-20 16:18 on WIN 64 So eventually inherited from OOo. b) Still REPRODUCIBLE with Server Installation of Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID b000d964fcc8849d10576bf3539bde7729db2eb1 CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US | Calc: CL | Auto Colibre Theme | Special devUserProfile c) IMHO this one is a DUP of IMPRESS "Bug 62745 - EDITING: right-click inconsistency on selected text" d) And IMHO this is not necessarily a bug – it's simply a possibility to show up the spellcheck context menu on misspelled words if necessary. But indeed, the difference to writer behavior is ugly. And I think behavior should be unified. e) And BTW: Also CALC behaves same way like DRAW. In calc if you select complete cell with text contents rigtclick on misspelled word will release highlighting of other strings in cell and show up spell check context menu. I can't tell whether we need a separate Bug for CALC. f) Probably "Bug 147269 - LibreCalc - no menu on the cell right click due to flagged spelling" is concerning the related CALC problem g) I doubt that "Bug 132629 - can't spell check using right click in merged cells" is related

Claro, aquí tienes una versión revisada para mejorar el estilo y la claridad: The bug persists in LibreOffice Impress 24.2.2. This issue in Impress stems from LibreOffice Text Boxes. Similarly, Text Boxes in Writer exhibit the same problem. The behavior of text boxes and the text editor in Writer lacks consistency.
Still REPRODUCIBLE with Server Installation of Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) Build ID: 2146e66d8df2b7b6a2dd868e886cae76aaf7f48b CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE; Theme: Colibre Calc: CL threaded – normal Test Profile created from 7.6 And still: d) IMHO this is not necessarily a bug – ...
At least it is inconsistent with Writer. Actually I would prefer the Impress-way as it allows to do spellchecking while text is selected.
Can't reproduce this with: Version: 24.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 433d9c2ded56988e8a90e6b2e771ee4e6a5ab2ba CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US
The behavior remains the same. Nothing changes in version 24.2.3.2. If you select text that contains misspelled words in Writer, right-clicking does not display the spell checker. However, in Impress, it does. Essentially, the behavior differs depending on whether you are in the Writer editor or a text box. Perhaps, this discrepancy could not be considered a bug, but the inconsistent behavior within the same program is confusing.
Created attachment 194163 [details] Screenshot MS Word We discussed the topic in the design meeting. The way Impress handles spelling errors looks very convenient and should be made available in Writer as well. Some blocker may result from the missing capability to deal with phrases (introduced for bug 154499). What do you think, also regarding feasibility and effort László? As an improvement we should keep the user-selection but overlay it with the spell-check color. Similar to how MS Word handles it, see screenshot.
I must confess that I don't understand this bug report at all. To me, it seems as though Writer and Impress handle textbox content the same way... A sample document is a must...
Created attachment 203002 [details] Impress file with misspelled words In the attached Impress document: Activate Automatic spell checking. Double-click on any misspelled word to select it. Right-click on the selection to open the context menu and try to copy it. 👉 The Copy option does not appear in the context menu. This means that it is not possible to copy a misspelled word using only the mouse. In contrast, in Writer (the editor), the Copy option is always available in the context menu, regardless of whether the word is misspelled. It is true that text boxes inside Writer behave the same as in Impress, but this inconsistency between text boxes and the main Writer editor is confusing for users. The issue is not only about spellchecking, but also about the unexpected difference in basic functionality (copy/paste) between Writer and Impress.
OK - so this bug report is about Impress/Draw (editeng really). Marking as Impress again instead of comment 15's change to Writer. And the request is for the opposite of what comment 15 suggests. Hiding it as off-topic. In normal writer - the incorrect word is ignored if there is a selection, so the user just gets the normal context menu. (that is why bug 62745 is marked as WORKSFORME). This bug report requests the same for editeng. Currently in editeng components (impress/draw/textboxes), selected text still results in a spell-check context menu. "This means that it is not possible to copy a misspelled word using only the mouse." Thus the request here is to do the opposite of the comment 15's title change to "Allow spellchecking within selections". Changing the title again...
since initial import: For writer, SwView::ExecSpellPopup if( pVOpt->IsOnlineSpell() && !m_pWrtShell->IsSelection())
This change will need some serious testing. One possibility would be that no context menu is shown at all. The other test that should be done is to "cut" from the new context menu - and ensure that the selection is actually cut. An interesting test would be to select only PART of a misspelled word, and note the difference based on where the mouse pointer is. Launching the context menu via Shift-F10 would also be a good test. In my testing: -Calc comments: ALREADY don't have a functional context menu. -Calc textbox/shapes: ALREADY opens the normal context menu. -Calc cell text: patch works nicely. -Draw: textbox/table/shape/fontwork : patch works nicely. -Draw comments: no spell checking done in them. -Impress: View - Notes Pane: patch works nicely. -Impress: View - Outline: patch works nicely. -Writer textbox / comments: patch works nicely.
