Spell Check will not goto all misspelled words

[Dennis]

Windows 8.1
Calibre 2.3
Within the Spell Check dialog in the book editor, if you double-click on a misspelled word it typically will goto that word. However if that word has a hyphen "-" directly before or after it will not goto that word.

As an example, I had in my list "ing" with 3 occurrences. But when I double click through them the program will only take me to 2 of them. It will not take me to "-ing" Nor would it take me to "sendi" because in the book it is "sendi-"

Just browsing bugs - I have noticed this problem also, so I just wanted to confirm it.

Multiply (I think this was triple and more)-hyphenated words also cause problems by the way.

Looking closer at it, it looks like a misspelled word with a hypen and then any non-alphanumeric character will cause the spell check to not take you to the occurrence. When there is a number or letter immediately after (or before) hyphen it causes the entire "word" to seen as misspelled and therefore allows you to get to word.
SO...
!-aaa OR aaa-! OR aaa-_ won't let you get to misspelled word.
BUT...
1-aaa OR aaa-1 OR a-aaa OR aaa-a will work
I (obviously) didn't try ALL non alphanumeric characters. But that seems to be the gist.
