Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 103299
DRAW / IMPRESS: red spell checking lines dont' switch on/off properly
Last modified: 2013-02-24 20:43:24 UTC
This is how to reproduce the behavior: 1. Create a new empty presentation in Impresses (happened with OO3.1.0 on WinXP) 2. Turn the red and curly instant spell checking lines ON with the button. 3. Type some misspelled text into a bulleted list (standard layout, doesn't matter) onto the first slide. 4. Add a second slide and also add some misspelled text there. 5. Result: in all text parts the misspelled works are underlined. So far so good. 6. Now toggle OFF the red and curly instant spell checking lines by pressint the above button again. 7. Result: The curly lines stay ON in almost all places (only in the currently highlighted textbox they disappear). This behavior is nasty because it makes it VERY tedious to switch this instant spell checking OFF, when you had it on during the creation of a presentation. I don't know any workaround for this. The only thing that destroys the red curly lines again, is to click into every singe text containing box (there are MANY in a normal presentation!!) and thereby individually toggle the instant spell checking off one by one :(
I can confirm that with "Ooo 3.1.0 WIN XP multilingual version German UI activated [OOO310m11 (Build 9399)]", also in an other way Steps to reproduce: 0. Install "Lorem Ipsum Generator" 1. open new WRITER text document, switch auto spell chck ON and create 3 paragraphs of text using "Lorem Ipsum Generator" 2. Mark all text 3. <cntrl>+<c> for copy 4. open new presentation and switch auto spellcheck ON 5. paste text into a new text box in the IMPRESS document 6. if necessary, <cntrl>+<a> and reduce character size and resize text box 7. click somewhere outside the text expected: nearby all text should be underlined, because words are not in your standard language actual: I found the first paragraph without underlines, pls. see attached screenshot 8. now click somewhere into the text expected: no changes concerning spell check actual: auto spell check recognizes misspelled words in the first paragraph, they become underlined, please see second attached screenshot. Further tests: Redo test, and 7a. after step seven use button to switch on and off auto spell check. expected: all red curly underlines should disappear and reappear when you switch off or on auto spell check. actual: no reliable on and off for curly red underlines, may be even no changes 8. now click somewhere into the text 8a. after step 8 use button to switch on and off auto spell check. expected: all red curly underlines should disappear and reappear when you switch off or on auto spell check. actual: as expected Not only IMPRESS it is affected, I found similar behaviour in DRAW documents (When you test, please double click in step 8!). All this behaviour is not 100% reproducible. I will attach a test kit containing - Impress document - DRAW document - PDF with screenshots This issue might be related to or DUP of Issue 26821, Issue 56993 @hardy314: Pls. specify your OS and Platform
Created attachment 63359 [details] Test kit for "comments from rainerbielefeld Sat Jul 4"
It happened on my computer with WinXP (SP3) and OO 3.1.0 (Help->Info says: "OOO310m11 build 9399"), my OO is also a german language version.
This still happens with OO 3.2.0. (final release version, OOO320m12 build 9483 on WinXP SP3, german language version)
@hardy314 Please read our guidelines on <http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html> and <http://www.openoffice.org/bugs/bug_writing_guidelines.html>; do not modify if you don't know what contents means!
@rainerbielefeld: Sorry, I didn't want to mess around. I just had the impression that nothing is ever going to happen in this matter, which slightly demotivates me in reporting bugs at all...
Problem with unchecked first lorem ipsum paragraph still visible with "Ooo-Dev 3.3 multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [DEV300m77 (Build 9496)]"! Switch on switch of problem, what seems to be DUP of Issue 26821, is no longer visible with DEV300m77.
