Hi,

Thanks, Agustin, this is an interesting find! I have altered my 
configuration as you suggested, and indeed I wasn't able to trigger the 
bug any more.

https://chaoticlab.io/pub/flyspell-bug/flyspell-bug-no-explicit-chars.png

Anyway, I am pretty confident that altering the configuration does not 
resolve the bug, but rather hides it. I think so because of the 
following reasons:

1. I do not see why my previous configuration, which uses explicitly 
specified characters, is wrong. It works fine when spell checking as you 
type and for smaller buffers and regions (when flyspell-large-region 
does not get called).

2. Without the fix, the above-discussed inconsistency exists between how 
flyspell works when you use it for:

a) spell checking as you type and checking smaller regions of text (when 
flyspell-small-region gets called).
b) spell checking large regions of text.

It should be noted, that putting the cursor on a wrongly highlighted 
word when the flyspell mode is active, gets the word rechecked and 
un-highlighted. This behaviour demonstrates this inconsistency one more 
time.

In fact, this inconsistency is the bug which I reported.

Regards,
Artem
