Description Marcin Segit 2022-08-20 16:31:04 UTC 
Description:
"Add to dictionary" feature does not work when launched from a right-click context menu. Words are not added to a dictionary. I tried with a new and existing one on a fresh LO 7.4 installation.

One can add a new word after launching a full spellchecker and selecting "Add to dictionary" there so the functionality is there, but the context menu is broken.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Writer
2. Write a word that is not in a dictionary (type any random number of letters)
3. Right-click on the word and select "Add to dictionary"

Actual Results:
The word is not added to a dictionary. Does not appear in a dictionary file and is still not being recognized by the spellchecker.

Expected Results:
The word is added to a dictionary and is recognized by the spellchecker.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Version: 7.4.0.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: f85e47c08ddd19c015c0114a68350214f7066f5a
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: pl-PL (pl_PL); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

My guess is that this might be somehow connected to the Synonyms feature - that is, in general some language context-menu launched functions are broken.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I don't even have the "Add to dictionary" entry :-(

I've checked the latest builds and it appears that this has been fixes. Works in both LO 7.4.2 (build from 3-Sep-2022) and LO 7.5.0 (build from 4-Sep-2022).
