A-ha!!! (was Re: New bugs in 2.2.2?)

[Sorry to be so dramatic, there's an ad in Quebec with a good 
"A-ha!"...]

Haven't investigated the line shift yet but in all likelihood, the dead 
key/diacritics bug is related to the Cocoa spellchecker.
With "check spelling as you type" on, OO 222 produces the bug on all 
the keyboards I use except one which doesn't have deadkeys (IPAKeys): 
US, Unicode Input, US extended... What's more, going back to Mail.app 
(which also uses "check as you type") reports that the spellchecker 
can't be accessed. In fact, it causes long stalls even after quitting 
and only logging out worked to break this charm.
Also, "Check spelling as you type" may be switched by other apps.
OTOH, working with a document that worked (accented characters produced 
with spellchecking disabled) didn't reproduce the problem, just now. 
Didn't have other apps open.
Wait! It does seem to fail when Mail.app is open before I go to OO. 
Including the line shifting thing (didn't happen with spellchecking 
disabled and OO as only app). So it must really be a single problem 
with the interaction of the system-wide spellcheck.
Also, for some reason, the 2.2.1 problem 2.2.2 was supposed to fix 
(switching column types in French localized) doesn't seem to be fixed 
in this context.
10.2.6, French as default language, several installed keyboards (or 
just US: same behaviour), OO 2.2 v66 directly from the image.
Hope this helps.
