Spell check finds a list of alternative words but when scrolling to the correct
choice it suddenly closes and selects an incorrect choice. The misspelled word
was "diring". I had meant to type "during". As I scroll the list of choices, I
can see the correct word (during) but before I can select it, the choices
listbox goes away. Then when I look at the text I see that spell check has
replaced "diring" with the word "dirging".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose a document of a couple of paragraphs and include the incorrect word
"diring" in the text.
2.Run spellcheck
3.Attempt to find the word "during" in the listbox of choices

Actual Results:  
Same as described above.

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to select the word "during" from the drop down list and then replace
the mispelled word "diring".

I noticed that the list of alternatives in the listbox was quite long. I would
guess somewhere in excess of 20 or so.
