Is this still an issue in the latest stable 4.0.x release? I'm similarly having problems with the English (UK) spellchecking, I'm not entirely sure if it's the same but the bug I filed may be related https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64004 Micheal says his bug looks fixed (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64004#c2) @Stephen Judge again, do you still see your reported bug in recent 4.0.5 or 4.1.1 LibO releases? changing status to NEEDINFO. From my experience on Windows so far this looks to be fixed, I have not experienced this problem for a long time now. Although I do use LO on Ubuntu Linux aswell. I have not done an upgrade of LO through a general release upgrade of Ubuntu in some time. I have always done fresh installations. So I am not sure if this problem exists/persists in Linux also. I think this bug can be closed as fixed though. thanks 4 feedback |
Created attachment 65569 [details] Screenshot of the Language Settings in the Options dialogue with the Dictionaries activated and deactivated Problem description: Upon every upgrade to a new version of LO the English Language Dictionary fails to load. I always have to re-load the installer, remove the English dictionary extension, re-load the installer and re-install the dictionary extension again. Then it will populate the dictionary correctly in the Language settings. Steps to reproduce: 1. With an existing installation of LO present, and the default language for documents in the Language settings, set to English (Eire) or another English dictionary. 2. Install the latest version of LO ensuring the English Language Dictionary is selected in the Optional Components > Dictionaries in the installer. 3. Load up the new version of LO and check the Language settings in the Options dialogue. With English (Eire) set as the default language for documents, you will see the Spell Checking symbol is not present beside it, or any other English Language Dictionary. 4. Close LO and re-load the installer, choose Modify installation in the installer, de-select the English Language Dictionary in the Optional Components > Dictionaries and proceed. Thus removing the English Language Dictionaries extension from LO. 5. Re-load the installer once more, select the English Language Dictionary in the Optional Components > Dictionaries and proceed. Thus re-installing the English Language Dictionaries extension. 6. Re-load LO, check the language settings in the options dialogue, you will then see that the English Language Dictionaries have been activated and the Spell Checking symbol will appear beside all English Language dictionaries for the default languages for documents. Note: This problem may well effect other dictionaries also but I am currently only using the English Language dictionary to provide spell checking in English (Eire). Current behavior: After upgrading to a new version of LO the English language dictionaries fail to activate and spell checking for documents in English is unavailable Expected behavior: After upgrading the English Language dictionaries should remain activated and should continue to work, providing spell checking for documents in the default English language without any further user re-configuration.
