"Ignore All" adds the word to the non-persistent list of accepted words for
the current session. It doesn't add the word to your personal dictionary.
And I think it should stop at the second word "garrrrbaggge" in any case
except when you did ignore it for the current session.

The spell checker always starts at the current cursor position, IMHO.
When the cursor is moved to another part of your text the subsequent F7
should start over there.

It should be reliable unless you move to current cursor position manually.
