Please note that in the past [1] I reported: 5.1 If I select one of the options in the spell checker replace the mispelled text with that option, just don't skip it! [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya-dev/2002Jul/0004.html After some discussion I understood that my requirement to double click on a word (instead of single clicking it, then mousing to the replace button, then clicking that) was a "feature request." I felt it was a serious usability bug. Turns out this is the way it works on the Windows version, but not the Linux! [13:45:53] <reagleMIT> now, if only amaya's spell checker was usable... [13:46:48] <janet> reagle, I have pretty good luck with the spell checker [13:47:43] <reagleMIT> Yea, but if you click on the word with the proper spelling, it retains the mispelling! [13:48:07] <janet> really? I didn't have that problem - at least last night [13:48:09] <reagleMIT> request to change the behaviour of clicking a suggested word means *use* that word is considered a "feature request" [13:48:53] <reagleMIT> really? run the spell checker over my team page... tell me what word it finds first [13:49:56] <janet> reagle, trying [13:50:09] <reagleMIT> then choose one of the suggest words (double click on it) [13:51:11] <janet> OK, so the first misspelled word I find is secratary [13:51:23] <reagleMIT> double click on the suggested word [13:51:25] <janet> so I click on secretary once, then I click on replace+dic [13:51:38] <reagleMIT> no.. *double* click on the suggested word ... [13:52:56] <janet> let me try the double click [13:53:12] <janet> Oh, I doubled and it changed [13:53:22] <reagleMIT> really? [13:53:27] <janet> yes. [13:53:38] <reagleMIT> so maybe there is a bug [13:53:59] <reagleMIT> maybe i should find someone with windows and try it [13:56:55] <reagleMIT> ah ha, thanks janet! it does work in the windows version [13:57:18] <reagleMIT> so there *is* a bug in the linux version -- and i wonder why irene was saying the desired/expected behaviour wasn't implemented?
