Alright, as promised I'm back with results and I'm going to post two more files which I hope will confirm my thoughts.


The bug present in versions 3.4.4 and 3.4.5! (At least for version 3.4.4 the bug is confirmed for Windows and also Linux platforms.) Thank heavens, I could
confirm this bug yet again on three different computers. I was beginning to think this was a wild goose chase.


Further analysis shows differences as follows (please see newly attached samples):
Document created from template does NOT have a default language for styles/templates. That's the reason why auto-correction doesn't work properly.


Solution:
Make sure the application always sets a default language for any style/template at startup. Usually you can safely use the system's current logon language,
since most users would be using the system logon language to write their documents anyway.


Comment:
As a software developer myself I'd prefer it if the application checks for styles/templates without default language and if found sets the system's logon
language. Having a style/template without default language is sort of an undefined situation which should be avoided.


System environments used:
Microsoft Windows XP SP3 Professional 32bit (two different and independent machines)
LibreOffice 3.4.4 and 3.4.5

also used for further confirmation of strange behaviour:
Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS
LibreOffice 3.4.4

(I haven't upgraded my Linux machine to LibreOffice 3.4.5 yet, but I think that's acceptable for this bugreport, since it is set up for version 3.4.4 anyway.)
