I can break my bad habits (I hope) and change the way I use spell check

I 99.9% agree - no problems with 2, 3, or 4 as is. Rare occurrences or not worth the effort for minor benefit

#1 was just a minor observation


However, the disappearing highlight bar after entering a correction word or picking one from the suggested list really is a real chance for error and extra work


In CAPTURE3.jpg (post #3) an error (agoI) is highlighted (entry N), and the suggested word was taken (ago I) so entry N is deleted from the misspelled words section and the highlight bar disappears

The suggested words section now shows suggestions for what was N-1 (AGL), but AGL is not highlighted (CAPTURE4.jpg)

It would more logical (to me at least) instead of going backwards, that the editor highlight what was N+1 (agonizing) and show it's suggested replacements
