I agree with DiapDealer here. Most of the requested changes are highly subjective. For example, when editing a document with proper language tags in a multi-language epub (and there are many with latin, or french, or german terms in them) the language column may be paramount to finding and detecting both spelling errors and additional text whose tags need lang attributes to be properly set.

Similar arguments can be use for misspelled column when foreign words with language specific spelling variations are present.

I personally like to see all words then sort first on the word then second on misspelled to focus on one subset first.

Sorting based on language is also useful at times.

This is a zero sum change as what helps one may hurt another. Especially after a long history of using them as they are.

Sizing the last three columns before adding the headers, and fixing columns that should not be editable, clearly should benefit everyone.

I do not feel that way about the other requests. Especially as they may disturb long time users.

If we never had a spell check dialog and we were designing a new one from scratch, many of the arguments put forward here would be useful. But we are not. Maybe for a future completely redesigned Sigil 5.0 long after I have retired from developing Sigil ...


Update: Just pushed the fix to master to make count and Language columns not editable. This fix will appear in the next release of Sigil.
