Default Word is BUGGY!

Catch 23 wrote:
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.

This does not occur if the extra space is deleted using backspace or
if the first space is deleted.


Correct

Did anyone with a pulse test this thing?


There is no such thing as bug free software. In the wider scheme of things,
this one is hardly momentous but is another justification for turning off
grammar checking while you type.
