I'm not sure what you mean. If you look at the attachment, you can see that the nt in "would;nt" *was* caught, and the user can see from the surrounding text the "would;".

Document contains:

Isn;t

recieve

Fir recieve I'm offered replacements of receive and others.

For Isn;t I am not.  The highlighted portion is "Isn"

I think that "isn;t" should be highlighted and I should be offered the replacement of "Isn't"


So, you have to move the cursor; delete the ";", type a "'"

rather than one click of "change" or "correct"

I do it too often.
