Bug Description

1. Open a new document and put the following into it without the enclosing quotes:

"""
aufwiesen, ein Burnoutmuster wie nach Maslach. Bauer et al. fanden 2005 bei ihrer Gymnasiallehrerstichprobe 34% "Typ B" nach AVEM. Nach der SCL90-R Symptomcheckliste hatten 20% der gleichen Stichprobe über 70 Punkte im Global Severity Index (GSI), was auf eine signifikante Belastung mit psychosomatischen Symptomen deutet.
"""

2. Toggle auto spellcheck on and off (the red lines are annoying when writing a text with lots of words not in the default dictionary, so I turn it off)

When the window width is below a threshold (e.g. the default width when starting the application, doesn't happen in e.g. fullscreen mode), the text will move around when I think it shouldn't. Very distracting when I quickly want to check a paragraph for spelling.

Revision history for this message

Actually, quite some things are not working when the window width is below a certain threshold.

For a new version I already implemented something like a "responsive" behaviour, so that font also gets smaller when the window get's smaller (yeah, some goodies ;)

Also there is a bug, when resizing the window, the rounding of the resize margins is incorrect and leads to "line-jumping" which is also irritating.

I was also able to reproduce the bug you're describing (only with the german dictionary and set as language of course). I agree it's kind of annoying -- i'll try to find out what the cause is.

Thanks for the bug report!
