Hi,

I'm using solr 4.6.1 spellcheck component for spelling suggestions. I
configured it to use DirectSolrSpellChecker with default distance function
and the comparator, which, as I understand, means the suggestions are
ranked by Levenshtein edit distance (primary key), followed by document
frequency (secodary key).

however, for the term '*papaer'*, the top suggestion is '*papier'*, which
has far less document frequency than that of *paper*. both the alternatives
are 1 edit distance away from '*papaer'*.

Is this a bug or a quirk of the edit distance algorithm I don't understand?

I've also posted the question on stackoverflow, along with my spellcheck
config:
