Description

Description
Sometimes, though I haven't yet found a way to reproduce on demand, selecting the recommended spell correction from right click menu of red wavy lined text, doesn't actually update the contents of the text window.
SDK:
Runtime: Version 115.0.1866.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
Framework: Win32?
OS: Win10 Enterprise Version 22H2 OS build 19045.2965

Repro Steps
Enter text into text box.
Spell something incorrectly so that red wavey line shows under misspelled word.
click on the misspelled word.
context menu is displayed showing recommended spellings.
select correct spelling!
Context menu disappears.

Expected result:
The relevant text is changed to the selected String.

Actual Results:
Previous String is still displayed

Research direction

Done means selecting a recommended spelling reliably updates the misspelled text in the text window; the issue does not mention any source file or test entry point.
