Note: As I said I positioned my cursor *_AFTER_* the first instance of the
"garrrrbaggge" word... (And I note that I also double checked the file:
"~/.lyx/pwl_english.dict" to make sure I hadn't accidentally added the
"garrrrbaggge" word, I had not.)

Yeah, but it never got to the end of the document. At some point during the
spellcheck initiated between two "garrrrbaggge" word markers {the cursor
was actually on the first character of the first line after the "garrrrbaggge"
marker line when I pressed F7 and began spellchecking. The starting
position was several chapters deep in the "book" I'm writing. It had not yet
found all of the many fat fingered typos that existed in the text between
the "garrrrbaggge" word markers when I noticed some distinctive text that
only occurs in the first few chapters of the book...

Except that it always used to check in a linear fashion that allowed me to
be sure that each questionable word would always be further from the
beginning of the document than the last until and unless I confirmed that it
could continue checking from the beginning... Unfortunately this behavior
is no longer reliable.
I note when I used the kludge I described in my 2nd posting to this thread
there were still so many typos in the text I'd tried to spellcheck that
when I pasted it into an empty document that didn't have any previous text
for the spell checker to skip back to, it took over an hour to make the
remaining corrections...
I don't know why the spell checker skips back. it doesn't happen every
time. But it has happened more than once on more then one Linux
installation, where LyX 2.0 was installed by the distro specific package
manager. This was the first time it happened on my recently installed Sabayon
Linux. I can't however, say for sure whether the other occasions were on
PCLinuxOS or Arch Linux since both of them have LyX 2...
