            Bug ID: 113792
           Summary: AutoCorrect doesn't initiate when navigating with
                    cursor navigation controls
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: framework
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: yetoohappy at gmail.com

Description:
When misspelling a word, pressing enter, space, or typing on an already created
line initiates the AutoCorrect, but when navigating with the cursor via cursor
navigation controls AutoCorrect doesn't do anything. It would be helpful if the
cursor navigation controls could initiate the AutoCorrect as there are more key
presses and/or clicks/hand movement to get to the misspelled word to open up
the context menu or to correct it because to even view the misspelled word an
enter, space, or typing on an already created line is required.

An example where the lack of this feature becomes irritating is if there are
three newlines created and text is typed on on the first line. A misspelled
word is typed on the second line but one wants to navigate to the third line.
When they navigate below to the last line they begin typing but find that their
word on the line above is incorrect and they have to use the cursor navigation
controls to get back to the word and correct it.

While it is true that the user could use the up arrow or any other control to
move back to that line, the fact that the AutoCorrect isn't telling the user
what is wrong when the user does a subsequent cursor control action is a bit
misleading.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable AutoCorrect.
2. Misspell a word with new line space above or below it.
3. Move the cursor around.


Actual Results:  
The misspelled word is not underlined red.


Expected Results:
the misspelled word should be underlined with red.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
