I agree, but if you use my way it does the same.

I was wrong. Not \n\n is the problem but a line like " \n" or "\t\n".  
If I don't replace the \n the snippet matching is wrong after such a  
line.

German example (TM_GSPELL_LANG = de)
-comment out str = str.gsub(/\n/, "　") in my script

Text:
Dies ist ein Tesst.\n
  \n
Dies istt ein Test.\n

(second line is SPACE\n)
invoke the script Tesst is highlighted, press TAB and now 'tt e'  
highlighted instead of istt.
If you replace \n everything is fine.

OK - undo is also fine ;)

What do you mean with 'Huh?'?
Huh - I forgot it or I don't understand why?
If the second is right:
If you don't write + "${0:}" and you come to last misspelled word and  
press TAB you will replace the last highlighted word with TAB instead  
of jumping to the end. You don't know that this word is last  
misspelled word. ;)

Attached the modified script.
