Good work! Here are my comments:

+ In the screenshot the part with errors is highlighted by changing
its colour. It would be preferrable if the highlighting was done the
same way as in abiword itself (zig-zag underline iirc).

+ Do the same errors occur often enough in one document that "Ignore
All" and "Change All" buttons are needed?

+ Is the extra "Change to" editable entry really needed, or could the
user just edit directly in the "Original" field if she decides not to
pick any of the suggestions? That would leave some more space for the
"Explanation" field too, which IMO should not have a scrollbar (fixing
errors is tedious, having to scroll brings a slowdown and may annoy
the user).

Cheers,
Rob
