Thesaurus doesn't work when focus is on graphic

This issue is similar to issue 15194, and I discovered it after applying the fix mentioned in issue 15362. Open up Writer. Insert a graphic. Change focus to graphic. Notice spell can be accessed, but thesaurus can not be. Change focus off graphic. Now spell and thesaurus can be accessed. Expected results: Spell and thesaurus can always be accessed to work through document even if focus is on a graphic. Actual result: Spell check and thesaurus aren't working alike.
Hi, FWIW, I don't think this is a bug at all. Spell checking is done on the whole ducument and Thesaurus lookup is done on the current selection (where the cursor is) and does not work on the entire document (nor will it search for the next word, ...). So if the cursor is over a graphic, the thesaurus should be disabled since there is not way to lookup alternative meanings for a graphic. Kevin
No, this is of course not a bug. As Kevin stated, the spelling is started to scan the whole text for errors, the Thesaurus is only used on certain words. Thus Thesaurus does not make sense when a graphic/object is selected.
Closed, because not a bug.
