            Bug ID: 143066
           Summary: Paragraph styles for all kinds of headlines should be
                    without spell checking
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0 alpha1+
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: adalbert.hanssen at gmx.de

If I have a multilingual document with multilingual headlines, spell checking
in the headlines of the automatically generated table of contents (TOC) should
be off by default in the styles associated with the table of content.

If there are spelling errors in a headline, they will be flagged and can be
corrected there. The corrections automatically spill over to the TOC once this
is updated.

The current behaviour is not a bug. My proposal is merely an enhancement.

Currently I have to edit the languages for all headlines in the TOC for each
style sheet.

Unfortunately there is no option to extend the language selection along the
dependency of styles. It would also make sense to let one choose whether to
extend or not

the chosen language, (if it is handled internally like the other properties)
the chosen colour,
the chosen font,
the chosen obliqueness,
the chosen language or none 

to all lower styles of that category.

By the way: It is quite unclear to me, whether the spell checking language is a
property which can be set in two ways like many others (colour, slant, font,
...) which might be set by direct formatting or by styles (direct formatting
prevailing if present). When writing documents on software, where you have
single words in the text which have e.g. the "source" style, if you change the
language for the paragraph, it also extends to single words or characters of
with the "source" character style making them misspelled in many cases.

One might consider to prepend the execution of direct formatting like changes
of the spell-check language -if there are parts affected, which have the "no
spell check" set- with this question: "Do you really want to set the spell
check language for those included parts, which have the property "no spell
checking"? No / Yes / Cancel   (where No should be the default).
