Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34579
Spellcheck doesn't check Fields
Last modified: 2013-02-24 20:43:11 UTC
The spellchecker doesn't check values in fields. Reproduce: - Select: Insert-Field-Functions-InputField - Insert Field - Change Field Value to 'doocument' in document - Select: Tools-Spellcheck-Check Result: - The spellcheck is complete
The Issue was replicable on Oo 1.1.1 and 1.1.4 on both Windows XP platform and Redhat linux 9. The spell checker is not capable of checking input field values in any condition. The follow up testing was performed for the Input list values as well and the problem was consistent with them too.
It never did. Thus it is no defect but a request for enhancement.
Note: This problem should be solved when grammar checking is working. And that is planned for OOo 3.0. Thus setting target accordingly.
@tl: any news for this for 3.0 ?
TL: Nope. No news. Spell checking still does not check field. Even if it would allow for it the problem will be how to change the field if sth. was misspelled... Still being occupied with grammar checking framework.
The API and process for spell checking needs to be changed... Can't be fixed in time for OOo 3.0 anymore.
No time left to fix this for OOo 3.1 because of other issues.

This is a long standing issue. Hope it is going to be fix soon
