<pre>Dieter, in order to understand a problem, I find it helps to read what's
written. However, try this
1. Enter a few lines of text.
2. In the middle of one word, enter 'XX'.
3. Navigate away using a mouse click, or an arrow key.
4. Watch with wonder when the spellcheck code fails to underline this mistake.
That said, I've now returned to OpenOffice.
<rant>
LibreOffice is simply too buggy for me, from misreporting line-number errors in
Basic, to crashes when opening the print preview dialog, to producing a
'corrupt' file that it could open, but OpenOffice could not - that was the last
straw.
The help system is dreadful too compared with OpenOffice, and I'm at a loss to
understand why the download package is so bloated in comparison. Speaking of
the help system - someone must have gone to a lot of trouble to create a new
one. I cannot understand why, when the old one works perfectly well. It even
integrates the help supplied with extensions - a subject for yet another bug
report, if I could be bothered.
Over the last 8 years, I've looked at LibreOffice every 6-12 months.
Previously, I've always rejected it within hours due to the many, many bugs.
This time I spent longer with it since I want to use a custom font, and due to
issues in FontForge and FontLab, neither produce the old kerning tables
correctly. This means that I need GPOS kerning.
Despite this, however, I simply cannot use a program that has so many faults. I
cannot understand either why an exception handler can't be used to capture
errors, rather than flat-out crashing. I must admit, that's an issue with
OpenOffice as well, but it VERY RARELY goes splat.
