Hello John,

I tested your submitted file against 4.2.5 and 4.3.0 and en dash, convert to metric and convert to non-metric do currently work. What presently didnt work is unspaced em dash and minus sign. Can you please confirm this from your end?

Hi Jay,
I've added another attachment which I hope will explain the problem with the two 'Convert' functions

Created attachment 102502 [details]
ODT to show 'Convert' problem.

Yes i had noticed previously that if i didnt have the convert options checked before loading the file they will not be active. I didnt consider this a bug, as i assumed it couldnt reloading the grammar checking rules on an active file.

Regarding the "grammar checker goes into a loop converting and re-converting a single selected value", yes if i tell it to correct 20 °C as 68 °F, it will loop back asking to correct 68 °F to 20 °C, unless i then the ignore button.

There seems to be a number of issues in this one bug report and unfortunately we can only tackle one item per bug report. So should i make this one about the looped converting bug in the grammar check?

Yes, you may as well do that. Hopefully these other issues will be resolved too.
Thank you.
