But in fact what happens is that all occurrences of 'dispelled' are changed to 'dispelt' - aagh.

If the action I see is what's intended, then I suggest the button be labelled "Change All" (in the English version), if the action should be as I interpreted it then there's a 'bug'.

I think there's a good case for two buttons - Change All and Ignore All (according to my definition thereof )

On a related note, the checkbox labelled - 'Automatic process S/R rules with auto flag set' would be easier to understand if it were labelled 'Automatically process S/R rules with the Confirm checkbox unchecked'. I searched high and low for a flag (checkbox) labelled '...auto...'
I have to check about the ignore button, but in general there it is a yes/no question. If you want to ignore the search completely, you should choose 'Continue with next search'. The ignore button will ignore exactly what it is saying for the remainder of the search. So, if it is saying ignore 'dispelled' in your case, it would ignore that word for the remainder of the document. If that is not the case with you, I would love to have a test document and the exact S&R rule that goes wrong. What you are describing is not the behavior that should happen.

I will adapt the translation of the checkbox.
