--- Comment #4 from Luke Kendall <luke.kendall at gmail.com> ---
This bug has existed for at least five years, probably longer.

Ignore all does not work, either.

The spellcheck function has been so severely broken now for at least a year
that I often have to spellcheck with hunspell separately, outside LibreOffice.

It broke badly somewhere between one year and two years ago.

Most of the bugs in LO spellcheck are in the UI - there's probably a day or two
worth of work needed just to report all the bugs. But I see many bugs are
already reported: opened, many new, many unassigned.

One clue I can offer is that the number of problems you'll experience in trying
to use Writer's spellcheck UI seems proportional to the number of spelling
errors. E.g. if you use it to try to correct errors in text mixed in with a
programming language (so you add local dictionary additions to allow all the
program's 'words' to spellcheck the genuine text parts), you'll quickly
discover bizarre behaviour and failures in the UI. (Look through the many
reports of problems and you'll experience all those reported bugs and more.)
