Many times when I am checking the spelling of my document and I want to undo...it doesn't work..says by mistake I clicked "Change" and then i change my mind when I click undo on the spellchekcer box it just doesn't go back
Please fix this issue

And moreoever, neooeffice seems to have spellchecking issues, sometimes it misses wrong words? maybe?

I don't know about the undo issue, but in regards to missing words, I would suggest that you read the Spellcheck article in the wiki.

In particular, you might check to see if you have "check in all languages" turned on.

I cannot reproduce the behavior described by your video (clicking Undo brings me back to the previous word).

Could you describe your setup more precisely (version of NeoOffice & patch, version of Mac OS X, PPC/Intel)?

Thanks for the prompt response.

My mac is Intel
Mac Os: Tiger
Version: 10.4.10

NeoOffice: 2.2.2 Patch 2

I've had this problem from earlier versions as well.

Here is two screenshots of the Language section of NeoOffice, not sure if it'll help.

Looking at your screenshots, I've noticed two things:

- the standard dictionary is set to English (Canada) instead of All; you could try changing it back to All and see if you can Undo again.

- your Dock doesn't seem to have a background; if you're using a haxie to get this look, you could disable it and see if it makes a difference.

Hey, I did both of what you said, but still with no success.

However, I have gotten a step closer to knowing what the problem actually is so hear me out:

You know that the spellchecker dialogue box, while it is going through a document will fit a specific amount of sentences in its box right? because the spellchecker box can't fit the whole document in its box at once or at least it doesn't do that...

so i dunno what it's procedure is with regards to separation, but see what happens is that whenever spellchecker moves to a NEW set, then I can't undo to the word in the PREVIOUS set, but if I am in the SAME set, i can undo to the words in THAT SAME set.
Please try that out yourself and see if it works for you. If you want I'll make a new video to clarify just what I am saying .

Thanks
