I was able to reproduce the error and interestingly I noticed different
behavior from the spell checker for different input.
While working with different input, I also observed another error related to
spell checking which I will mention shortly.
Let’s go through one example.
I entered the following few lines to open office writer.
This boy is very goom
this goom man does not work here.
We picked a very goom flower.
Then I right-clicked on the underlined words (here is “goom”) and select
spelling (you could alternatively press F7).
From the “Suggestions” list I chose “good”.
Next, I pressed “Change All”.
The result was as I expected. In other words all the “goom” in all three lines
are now replaced with “good”.
In another test, I entered the above three lines with a minor difference.
That is, I changed some of the letter to capital in the word “goom”. Everything
else is unchanged. Here is my input:
This boy is very goom
this Goom man does not work here.
We picked a very gOoM flower.
Similar as above, I right-clicked on the underlined words (they are “goom”,
Goom and gOoM) and select spelling (again, you could alternatively press F7).
From the “Suggestions” list I chose “good”.
Next, I pressed “Change All”.
This time the result was not as I expected. This time, pressing “Change All” ,
changes the first occurrences of the underlined word i.e. “goom” is replaced
by “good”. The rest of the underlined words remain untouched.
If I wish to correct all the underlined words, then for every one of them, I
have to press “Change All” (or just press Change”). Therefore the spell
checking mechanism differentiates between words that are the same but differ
only in capitalized letter. In other words “goom” and “Goom” is totally two
different words.
When we press “Change All” replacement is done only on exact matches of the
word.
For example suppose we have three sentence such that the first and the second
one contains “goom” and the third sentence contains “gooM”. If we press “Change
All” in spell checking, only the first and second line which contains exact
match, are affected.
Also note that every time that we press “Change All”, “Suggestion” list changes
its suggestions. Therefore if we just keep pressing “Change All” (without
looking at the suggested word) we might end up with different word. This is the
case I think that happened for original person who wrote the first comment,
where in the last line he got a totally different word. Because he has “jook”
in the last line but on the other lines he has “Jook”. He probably got a
different suggestion for “jook” and without looking at the “Suggestion list” he
pressed “Change All” continually, so he ended up with “nook” for “jook”.
Another related error:
I entered the following sentences:
The old gumzy man was very happy.
Gumzy man decided to leave afterward.
I noticed that the word “gumzy” is underlined to indicate spelling error.
Suppose I wish that this word to be recognized by the open office writer
dictionary. I only need to add one word to the dictionary which is “gumzy”. On
the second sentence the first letter of the word “gumzy’ is capitalized because
here it happens to be the first word in the sentence. So we know they are the
same.
Add the word “gumzy” to the dictionary by pressing “F7” and then pressing the
button
” Add to Dictionary”.
I expect that now both words (“gumzy” and “Gumzy”) Not to be underlined.
However I observed only the first “gumzy” is recognized (not underlined) and I
have to do another adding to dictionary to the second “Gumzy”.
It seems that open office writer can not recognize the same word when on of it
letters is capitalized.
This error does not happen in Ms-2003.
