Is English dictionary installed?
Comment 4 John Schuetz 2023-08-23 21:17:36 UTC
Hi Mike,

Yes, it is.  It's been installed for quite some time.  This was all fine in 7.5.5.

Shows missing hyphenation data error message

I did see this earlier, and ran into it again this morning, regarding the missing hyphenation data error.  I checked the libraries/dictionaries I have installed and it all looks correct.  Again, this is new with the 7.5.5 release.

I'm not sure I'm doing this right with the status but . . . 

I uninstalled 7.6, re-installed 7.5.5, and the spell-checking was working as per usual.  I then uninstalled 7.5.5, re-installed 7.6, and now it seems to be working fine.  So I guess something got messed up when I updated 7.5.5 to 7.6.  I believe this bug can be closed.
