If you have a document with 'httyyd same text' and spell check, correct 'httyyd'
with two words like 'this is', and the next incorrect word flagged is 'ame'. It
seems that the spell checker does not remember where it ended the correction. It
is even worst if the word is replace by three words.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add 'hggyyd anything text' to a blank message
2. Spell Check
3. Replace 'hggyyd' with 'fred is the'
4. Next error is 'hing', the first four letters of anythin were skipped.
Actual Results:  
The spell checker reports that 'hing' is mispelled.

Expected Results:  
spell checked 'anything' which was correct, so no more error should be found.
