Description Markus Grob 2012-11-12 12:13:33 UTC 
If I check the document and close the dialog manually, then it is normally, because I like to change things around the last checked word.
But now I have to jump from the cursor back to the word and after this, I can edit it.
Couldn't you change it, that if the check is stopped, that the focus will stay at the last checked word.

Greetings from Switzerland, Markus

I think, you don't need a document. I hope, if I describe it right, you will understand, what my problem is.

If I work with a big document and have the cursor on the first page and start the spellchecker, the document scrolls down, while I'm correcting the words or committing them into the checker.

Now my case starts:

After 5 sites I see an error in the document and will correct it outside the spellchecker. For this, I stop the spellchecker, but the document don't stops there, it scolls back to where it starts (first page).

After this, I have to scroll down and tries to find the error again.

-> I prefer, that the spellchecker doesn't scroll back to the cursor position, but stays at the given document position, after closing it.

Was this understandable?

Example:

text
<-Cursor      <---------------- (jumps back after closing)
text                           |
...lot of text...              |
... 4 pages with text ...      |
...                            |
error <- spellchecker is here--|

@Markus: bug 34425 is a fixed bug about buttons. I suspect you marked the wrong bug...
Comment 5 Markus Grob 2013-10-09 10:08:53 UTC 
OK. Now I have seen the Problem. The same Bug ist also registered in AOO: Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Bug 34425. Because of this I have closed this bug. The problem is, that same bugs are older then the split to AOO and LO.

I hope, the bug will be closed (in both versions ;-) ).

Reproducible with LO 4.3.3.2, Win 8.1.

Steps Done:
1. Open a document with several pages in WRITER
2. Put the cursor at the beginning of the document
3. Go to TOOLS -> SPELLING AND GRAMMAR
4. When you arrive at a mistake after a few pages press the Close button, because you want to change there something manually

Result:
After pressing the Close button the document scrolls up to the first page.  To correct the mistake you have then again to scroll down.
