Description Urmas 2014-04-03 00:19:43 UTC
Enter some text in a foreign language and add an empty line after it. Select the text from top to bottom, including the empty line.

The Language menu for selection will be missing the detected languages except the system ones.

Unable to reproduce under GNU/Linux using v4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409. Screenshot taken with a reset profile for en-US install in en-AU locale (no fr-FR language menu entry by default).

Your caret is in wrong place, on the line with text.

I have to confirm this as people keep clowning around this bug.
Comment 7 Buovjaga 2014-12-12 06:23:34 UTC
Please create a screencast where the problem is visible to avoid further clowning.

Comment 9 Buovjaga 2014-12-12 08:12:22 UTC
Thanks. I could finally repro.
I went to the empty line and selected all with Ctrl-A and then "Tools - Language - For selection" did not show Germany when I had German text.
