--- Comment #31 from tommy27 <barta at quipo.it> ---
hi guys, reading all you comments I came out with an idea that would
simultaneously fix both current Bug 78217 and Bug 65952

idea would be to leave the current 4.2.x behaviour for selected text in a
document and to copy into "with" field either if it's plain or formatted or OLE
etc. etc. that would be ok in scenarios 2 and 3a of my previous post

regarding scenario 1, that happens only when you try to autocorrect a typing
error with right click menu and you don't find a proper spellcheck suggestion.

If we could add a new item in the "right click autocorrect" suggestion like it
was suggested in comment 26

that new "add custom" menu item should be used to launch the autocorrect
replacement table and allow the user to type his desired correction.
only in this case the word should be pasted into the "replace" field because we
are clearly dealing with a typing error situation.

I'd like to hear your opinion about that.
IMHO this would not alter current "selection to autocorrect" behaviour and will
instead represent a clear improvement in the "right click autocorrect"
experience.
