Spell Check and screen scrolling

Post by akperio » Sun Apr 16, 2023 7:52 am

Does anyone else have this problem: when typing a clinical progress note, OD underlines words in red that are misspelled. When I right click and select the correct spelling, the note instantly scrolls to the bottom of the page and then I have to scroll all the way back to where I was.

I've also found that this only happens if the word was already misspelled before I opened the note. If I'm typing the note and notified it is misspelled right away and correct it, the automatic scrolling doesn't happen.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone knows a work around or fix. It's very time consuming to have to keep scrolling back to find where I left off.

I have not yet noticed that, but it sounds like a legitimate bug.

This occurs if you have your text cursor has not been set in the textbox (You have not left-clicked into the textbox).
The default behavior is that it will reload the text while maintaining visibility on your selected location, but since you do not have a selected location yet, it will be moved the scroller to the default location (the top).
For the time being, making sure to click into a textbox before interacting with the spell-checker will allow you to maneuver around this behavior. I will have my team look into it and see if we can find a simple way to fix this.
