Description Daniel Hevron Pereh 2020-03-29 12:05:44 UTC

Description:
though everything works fine with English dictionary, using another dictionaries (in my case, Hebrew) doesn't mark wrong words with red line. The software does recognize the dictionary since pressing F7 the spellcheck takes me through all the bad words and gives sensible alternatives.
using the exact steps below between 6.3.x and 6.4.x, I found out the problem started in 6.4 and wasn't fixed yet.

If its relevant, the issue happened on multiple machines, wayland and xorg, nouveou and proprietary nvidia drivers.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install libreoffice and hunspell-he 
2. set locale settings to Hebrew, user interface remains in english.
3. in Default Languages for Documents, set complex text layout to Hebrew. It shows an icon indicating that the software detects the dictionary.
4. apply the new settings, restart writer for changes to take affect
5. type in Hebrew

Actual Results:
no marking appears for wrong words (not Hebrew and not English). (the same steps were tested in 6.3.x and it works fine)

Expected Results:
marking appears under wrong words. for both languages


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

I have tested the bug on Libreoffice 7.0 alpha release (AppImage, Fedora 32) and happy to say it is resolved there. I don't really understand these things but is there any chance on importing the fix to 6.4.X?

Since it is not clear, what patch fixed that issue, I think it is not possible to answer this question. Have you tried with 6.4.4?

Since it works in 7.0.0.0alpha1 let's close it as WORKSFORME

It's not working on 6.4.4. Guess I'll wait for the 7.0.0 release. 
thank you for your work :)

Daniel, please verify that this works for you with a 7.x release.

Yes, it does work with all 7.x.x releases thus far. I didn’t experience any issue.
