Description: In LO Impress 7.6.2.1 (and many earlier versions), setting a document's global language only works once. All repeated attempts have no effect. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run LO Impress in a clean Ubuntu 23.10.1 environment with an US English language setting (rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice; soffice -> "Impress Presentation"). 2. Put some German text on the slide ("Das ist ein Test."), should be marked red as it doesn't contain English words besides "test". 3. Click on "English (USA)" -> "More..." in the status bar to change the language. Select "German (Germany)", enable [x] "Ignore system input language". OK. 4. Status bar now says "German (Germany)", however German text is still marked red. (But spellchecking actually works when saving the file now and reopening later.) 5. Click "German (Germany)" in the status bar, select "English (USA)". 6. Click "English (USA)" -> "More..." in the status bar, select "German (Germany)" (although already selected). OK. 7. Status bar continues showing "English (USA)". Actual Results: 4. Text is still spellchecked in English (USA), despite what LO Impress says in the status bar. 7. Status bar continues showing "English (USA)". Expected Results: 4. Text should be spellchecked in German (Germany) now. 7. Status bar should show "German (Germany)" now, and spellchecking should be applied in German.

Dear Horst Schirmeier, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
