I see this a long time but only now decided to call it a bug (don't know why I didn't react sooner). When changes are tracked (Edit - Changes - Track) and changes are shown (Edit - Changes- Show) and a word is misspelt: (1) if you add a missing letter and by this the word becomes spelled correctly, the word loses the red marking of a misspelt word (which is great); (2) if you remove an excess letter and by this the word becomes spelled correctly, the word still keeps the red marking of a misspelt word (which is an error); Of course, if changes are not viewed, just tracked, in the second example the red marking is removed, as it should be. If you turn on the show of changes, the same corrected word gets underlined as misspelt. If you turn off the show of changes, the same word loses the red underline. I also found an exemption of this rule: if the excess letters are the first letters of a misspelt word, even if both options are on, upon removing those excess letters when both funcions are turned on - the red underline correctly vanishes. (in Slovenian changing word "odreagira" to "reagira"). Strange.
Also, I noticed: - there are cases when it works properly even if a character is deleted from within the word (Slovenian: vrednoste -> vrednote; vplejati -> vpeljati); - it also works if excess characters are only at the end of the word (just as if they are only at the beginning of the word).
Indeed, in the case of tracked and shown changes, it seems that the spellchecker has some difficulty to know what is the word to be checked. Best regards. JBF
