Spell Check dialog restarts at first word every time

phossler · 04-09-2013, 10:39 PM

Is there a setting to tell spell check not to jump back to the first line?

Looking through the A-Z, if I'm in the M's and [Change Selected Word To:] something, Sigil then repositions the spell check list back to the first line, e.g. an 'A' word.

Then I have to scroll down to the M's again.

Repeat,

It's be nice if Sigil would just keep the mis-spelling list where I was

Or is there a setting I missed??

I found this annoying as well and limiting to the use of the list for making multiple corrections at once.

I think the plan was to fix/ignore them in order

Personally, I like to sort the List and deal with the Higher counts first.

Yes, the expectation was to work through the misspellings from top down - and you could sort as needed.

Fixed for the next release - to highlight the same line if you Change a word, which should be close enough to work for most cases.

I could / should sort descending by Count and work my way to the, Ignore-ing as I go if I'd thought of that

But working A-Z just seemed more natural (to me)

Works for me

If you Change a word AND Show All Words is not checked, will you highlight the line after since the original line is now not displayed?

Right now, if I do Change a word, and exit immediately, I do not get the prompt to Save. That would seem to be incorrect so maybe you could include that also
