Default Word is BUGGY!

This is not limited to the grammar checker. I often find that spelling
errors continue to be flagged even after I've corrected them. If I page down
and back up or switch to Print Preview or do something else to refresh the
display, this usually clears the formatting.

Try this:
1. Set Word to flag multiple spaces after a full stop.


OK

2. Type three sentences.


Done

3. Insert a second space after the period at the end of the first
sentence. Word should flag it with a green wiggly underline.


It does. Error is flagged

4. Place the cursor between the two spaces and press Delete. Word
continues to flag the error that is no longer there.


Agreed

5. Retype the period. The error flag goes away.


Don't you mean re-type the space? The period is still there. Pressing
delete
removes the space.
The error flag however remains in place, but is removed from between
sentence 2 and sentence 3.
Restore the space and the flag remains missing from between sentence 2 and
3
until the cursor is moved away.


I meant what I said. Deleting the second space as I described fixes
the grammar error, but Word continues to flag what is no longer an
error. Retyping the period (apparently) causes Word to reexamine it is
discover that it is no longer in error.
