Description Mike Kaganski 2019-10-01 08:24:56 UTC
With "Ignore system input languages" (under Options->Language Settings->Languages) unchecked, when user switches keyboard layout (e.g. between English and Russian), in Writer the language of entered text changes accordingly (e.g., on Windows; there's a known problem on Linux - bug 108151, which is unrelated). On the other hand, the change doesn't happen in Impress, and the language is kept as it was defined to the text (originating from default language for the document, or from font settings of character properties). This triggers misdetections or unoperational spelling check.

Having en-US set as document default language (and having both en-US and ru-RU dictionaries installed), and typing some English word like "English ", then changing the layout to Russian and typing "русский" would produce spelling error on the latter word, considered to be English.

Tested with Version: 6.3.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 98b30e735bda24bc04ab42594c85f7fd8be07b9c
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded (but is definitely an old problem inherited from OOo).

I don't believe myself ;-P - my reports are invalid quite often... no problem if it waits UNCONFIRMED a little longer waiting for someone with Windows box to test.

The option is also ignored in Calc (see the attachment Description and suggestions to #tdf134628). Apparently it was done only for Writer when it was requested in a bug report for that module.
