Description richlv 2005-03-03 10:10:10 UTC 
open a new writer document, check tools->autocorrect->word completion. the list 
is empty. open any content in help, check word completion list again - it is 
populated with words from help.

it's pretty useless in my opinion and only pollutes word completion list every 
time help is opened. i believe most users would not understand where those words 
are from and such a behaviour actually is counterproductive.

word completion should not collect words from help pages.

Reassigned to SBA.

confirm with m85, interesting feature ;-)
Comment 3 stefan.baltzer 2005-03-18 11:21:01 UTC 
SBA: Same as in OOo 1.1.4. This is a little less a problem in OOo 2.0 because
the default word length was changed from 5 to 10 characters.
Workaround: unscheck "Collection of words" in WordCompletion dialog

Target set to OOo later, reassigned to OS.

user experience would find:

1. Word complete is on by default
2. Visiting help is no uncommon process, particularly with the help suggestions 
popping up in the bottom right, for a casual user
3. Word completion gets aggregated with a lot of useless words. This slows down 
the computer by scanning the help entries and filling the list
4. Word completion suggests unrelated words - irritating the user. Therefore 
this is a nuisance for new users who might step back from OOo.

Any programmer might see:

This is a problem where a method or object is applied in the wrong context. 
This wrong dependency should be investigated asap. Who knows whether it is some 
general underlying problem or an isolated case of having explicitly assigned an 
object to a wrong context.


conclusion: fix it for OOo 3.0 as it disturbs users severely and there doesn't 
have to pass more time since OOo 1.x to fix this possibly-major-defect.
