Description Scott M. Sanders 2011-12-19 13:04:07 UTC
On first run of 3.5.0 beta0 or 1, LOdev does not auto-check spelling of an opened document.

But it does once you restart LOdev completely, i.e. run it a second time, and henceforth.

NOT reproducible with Parallel Dev-Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta1 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [Build-ID: 7362ca8-b5a8e65-af86909-d471f98-61464c4] Windows_Release_Configuration  11-Dec-2011 06:51" 

@reporter:
May I ask you to read  hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> carefully?
Then please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot)
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a step by step instruction containing every key press and every 
  mouse click how to reproduce your problem, starting with description how 
  you launch LibO (and if possible how to created a 
  sample document from the scratch)
- add information 
  -- What does "first run" mean: "Very first run" after installation or every
     first LibO launch after PC has booted
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- Document language, installed dictionaries
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC (video card, ...)
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO version and localization (UI language)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
    (video hardware acceleration ...)
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- If you can contribute an OOo Issue that might be useful
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

Rather than waste work time, I'll just wait until someone on XP confirms this and my dozen other bugs, thanks.

Anyway it is worth noting that 3.4 including 3.4.5rc1 are fine while 3.5 betas are not and are somehow plagued with spell-check bugs.

First run means the first time the app in question is started.

The document language is English which is default and presumed.

Um, I expect red underlines for auto spell-check for misspellings, as that is its singular function, and I get none.

My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3.

It happens with any document in existence or newly created, so attaching a random doc would be pointless.

I open 3.4.5, click recent, and open a recent file.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I've seen this behavior (on WinXP 32b) with some (obsolete) 3-5-dev-builds:
not all bundled dictionaries (especially 'dict-en') have been available in 'Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids > Available language modules > Edit... > Language' with the first start (then completed with the second start).
[First start = starting LibO after the installation with 'swriter.exe']

That did not occur (for me) with the current builds, e.g.:
- LibO 3.5.0 Beta2
- LOdev 3.5.0beta2+ Build ID: 62b9587-7ef74e0-7bf1c81 [2011-12-23]

Trying to reproduce the mentioned problem with LibO 3.5.0 Beta1, and a brandnew default user profile (first start simulation) failed.

Please, could you try it with 3.5.0 Beta2 and a default user profile?
Comment 5 Scott M. Sanders 2011-12-30 05:08:14 UTC
It works OK now with 3.5.0beta2. Thanks.
