This is expected behaviour. When All Words are unchecked, as you fix words or ignore words using the Spellcheck Editor, they are removed from the incorrect word list on the fly and your position is kept properly.

But when you fix things by hand outside the mechanisms built into the Spellcheck Editor, the Spellcheck editor has no way of knowing you did that other than the underlying file says its contents has been modified somehow, which triggers a rebuild of the incorrect word list which now comes up with fewer incorrect words (if in front of it in the word list sort order) which makes your last position in the list incorrect.

So again, consistently using the Spellcheck Editors change or Ignore features is the best way to use it. You are making its position in the list information incorrect by going behind its back and then complaining it can not remember the next word to look at from the previous list.

If you do decide to go behind its back, then manually hitting the Refresh button and starting at the top or bottom is probably the best approach.

Even if the Spellcheck editor tried to remember the next word in the list after your current word, that may not work either as you could have fixed that one as well (or the one prior or created a new mistake or ... behind its back and it would have no place to go.

So use the tools provided in the Spellcheck Editor, and if you do fix things behind its back, be prepared to note your location to resume to or refresh and begin from the top or bottom or just jump around. It is your choice.
