Comment 1 Julien Nabet 2017-09-17 14:14:18 UTC
I could reproduce this too with LO Debian package 5.4.1.2
Comment 2 Telesto 2017-09-17 16:48:46 UTC
Confirming on Windows:
Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: e038dfdf05096edc0e9c38c9a686b5d23ba39352
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.29; UI render: GL; 
TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2017-09-14_23:31:01
Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); Calc: CL

Not sure if it should be remembered or not, though. But i'm probably missing something =)
Comment 3 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2017-09-18 06:57:33 UTC
I reproduce this behavior but I do not know if that is a bug or not.
Perhaps the language shown as starting value in the dropdown list is defined from the locale.

Best regards. JBF

Stuart, Cor: don't blame us.

Strange, on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with
Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: fc670f637d4271246691904fd649358ce2e7be59
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: GL; 
TinderBox: Win-x86@62-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2017-09-07_21:52:56
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: CL

On TDF production TB62 build all components of the Tools -> Options -> Language Settings: Writing Aids respond to selection and selection is retained between LO sessions.

Hunspell Spell Checker
Lightproof grammar checker (Russian)
Lightproof grammar checker (English)
Libhyphen Hyphenator
Mythes Thesaurus

And on the TB42/TB39 builds, no language modules are present, so guess they're not built.

Cloph, any idea?
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2019-03-06 20:22:34 UTC
Just for the record, on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could still reproduce this.
Comment 10 Heiko Tietze 2019-04-02 08:09:47 UTC
UX wise the selection should be stored. So it's a bug.
Comment 11 Timur 2022-05-16 15:00:38 UTC
Repro 7.4+. But I don't think that Expectation is correct. 
It's not that language should be changed, it's checkbox of used feature. 
Change language and turn off spellchecker. On next open, it remains turned off.
Comment 12 Timur 2022-05-17 07:33:42 UTC
Based on my shallow understanding of this and how I understand Help, I close NAB.
Please set New if explained differently.

Bug has keyword "needsDevAdvice". So we should respect this request from design-team and wait for devolper input before closing it as NAB.
=> NEW
Comment 14 Heiko Tietze 2022-05-23 06:47:45 UTC
You can configure writing aids for multiple languages. For example, hyphenation on for German and off for English. The dropdown is a selection for the list below not the language definition for new documents, which is done in language > languages > default language for new documents. => NAB
