            Bug ID: 141693
           Summary: SpellCheck leaves cursor at beginning of corrected
                    word
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dave.docfound at nathanson.org

Description:
After using right-click menu to spellcheck/correct a misspelled word, LO leaves
the cursor at the beginning of the word, an awkward decision which requires
intervention to proceed typing additional words. Many other apps (this text
entry box in FireFox) leave the cursor in a more desirable location, at the end
of the corrected word, where it is ready to continue with forward progress. 

Even if you don't necessarily see this as a problem, it is likely that you also
don't see any benefit to leaving the cursor at the beginning of a word over
leaving the cursor at the end of the word. 

Please adjust LO to put the cursor at the end of the word after spell check
makes a correction. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.misspell a word
2.right-click on the word & select the correct spelling
3.notice where the cursor is left... Before the corrected word. 

Actual Results:
Cursor is placed before the corrected word

Expected Results:
Expected to see cursor placed after the spell check corrected word. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
