Spellcheck not jumping to selected word

I recently installed Sigil 1.9.2 on a new computer (I had a previous version on the former computer). When I run spellcheck, the popup window with the list of misspelled words appears as it should. When I select a word on the list, Sigil isn't going to that word in Code View unless I double-click the word. Is this how spellcheck now works, or am I doing something wrong?

That is the normal way it works.
You normally only need to do that for context checks.

You normally just pick/type the correct word on the right and click the change button

Yes, you must double click to get CodeView to update to the first occurrence of the incorrect word. You can still select and update with single-clicks but require a double-click to see the word in context.

This change was made because even just paging through a very long list of words caused spellchecking to constantly reload the context greatly slowing things down.
