--- Comment #6 from Dani <[email protected]> --- Again thank you for all you all for your effort with speaking with me and understanding this. First, if I mislabeled this issue or did something to wrongly categorize or badly communicated the issue to you before I apologize and don't want to have confused the issue I was presenting. Said issue isn't that spell check simply is showing too many options for replacement of the misspelled word at all nor am I saying this is a bug caused by anything in the programing but more of a problem I am having using the interface with how it functions. I do a lot of text editing of diverse writing so the more options it shows the better for finding what I want in most cases. But sometimes if the list is massive my eye tends to have to scan the list and it takes longer to find the word if the area it scans is so large and scrolling just moves the list up and down but leaves it large. Your spellcheck while fine at base when I started did not have the proper spelling of plenty of words in it or account for variant spellings and I often have added further words to it using dictionaries and such for my own writing and this is fine. Again I accept this may make the personal list of replacement words longer for some misspelled words being checked but I would prefer more options than less and I don't just want to ignore adding to my custom dictionary or curate by removing what is correct to shorten it if those options would be useful or correct. I was by posting this here hoping to draw attention to an issue with what seems to be the menu being stretched so long and how it impacts my usage of the spellcheck. Again if there was a separate scroll section in the spellcheck right click menu so that I can scroll through that list it would stop it from stretching off the screen entirely and be more in my view at least user friendly. My eye can scan the words in that area without losing track and when I scroll I can do so while keeping track again of where I was and not losing track of it. So the issue again I am addressing is that the menu that pops up is stretched by the available options for correcting the misspelled word to the point that it starts to scroll off the screen. Again this does not happen for the majority of words and most times as long as it fits in the area or doesn't display much over 10 options I am fine. I may in fact want all those options just in case as sometimes the same misspelling may show up in various contexts meaning a different word might need to be selected to replace it so I don't see any reason for me to curate and remove correction options from my list to make it shorter by making it potentially less useful depending upon the circumstance. I can still scroll the current overly stretched list and it is not the most insurmountable issue so I even understand if this is not a feature you wish to add or an issue you need to address. But it slows me down and does cause enough frustration just often enough that I figured I should point it out. I used "ru" as a spelling mistake example because it was easy to remember at the time. I have had longer words that were misspelled that triggered this and if you want me to hunt for more I can in my personal system. Again this is not me saying this issue ruins things for me but more just a small issue that has happened enough that it causes a problem for quick easy use in this one area sometimes. If you think this is solely my problem then I understand and thank you for at least explaining to me why. I just figured I would tell you what is an issue I had using your program and my suggestion on how to fix it if you agreed or not. So again thank you for the time you took to read this and sorry for any trouble this might be causing you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
