Description Qadeer 2015-03-05 01:25:49 UTC
this problem started fairly recently, While i am using open office the spellcheck underlines everything i type with a red line suggesting it is wrong. For example if i type my dad and i walked to the park, the spellcheck recognizes that the whole sentences is wrong.

A very large proportion of spellcheck problems in OpenOffice are cured by
deleting or renaming the User Profile.

If this does not work, please bring your problem to the support Forum first.

I don't understand how this is not an issue. There is clearly some sort of defect that has these occur and be reported repeatedly.  

The other problem of course, is talking about "support" forums and lists when we don't have what users expect to find in that category.  

It seems to me that WONTFIX is the correct resolution.  But do we really mean for it to stay that way?
