--- Comment #7 from [email protected] --- Yes, thank you for that clarification. In all my experience with spell checking, one does the process and then the dialog should close if no more errors are found. There are a couple competing concepts here. First, the idea is that the selected or highlighted word is the one needing checking, and then nothing else. The dialog box should close after that word alone is checked. Second is that the user may wish to check other areas, and is given the opportunity to start at the beginning of the document. But the compounding error is to lose the focus of the pop-up window after selecting not to continue. So there it sets, just in the way of continuing one's work. This requires the user to select it and then close it, or just select Close (which is not active); so either two or one additional steps for no reason. That's just bad, non-intuitive programming. The user can always select the icon again, as stated, if one wishes to check more. In summary, the user highlights the word in question with a double-click and then selects the spell check icon. If it is correctly spelled, the highlight simply goes away. If it is not, then the dialog pops up with the suggestions. Once the selection is made, the dialog must close. If the user is wishing to check the whole document, then the selection of the icon should start the spell check dialog from where the cursor is, and continue forward and around to loop back to the cursor position at the end of the process. Once all errors have been addressed, it should automatically close the dialog. This seems intuitive. (We must remember that we are doing spell check and not grammar check. Though they can work in much the same way, they are separate and distinct functions.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
