------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Jul 2 02:55:15 +0000 2009 ------- To recreate: 1. open Writer 2. type in a misspelled word for your locality 3. When the underline appears to indicate a spelling error, right-click on it. 4. You will be prompted "Add to Dictionary" click on this. 5. You must choose a dictionary. This simple action takes three clicks and requires the user to make a choice which is meaningless to them. I understand there is a subset of users who want this feature; but the default behavior should be one that does not cause confusion for users who do not know the difference between dictionaries. Suggested fix: 1. Default behavior should be to show a simple "Add" menu; this adds to the proper default dictionary. 2. An option be added to enable the current behavior of presenting the user with a choice of dictionaries. Reference also: 80919 - this was closed because there is already an option to remove dictionaries from the selection; but this does not address the fact that this is a) a confusing situation by default and b) requires two more clicks than it needs to, in order to perform one of the most common tasks possible when editing a document. Reference also: 52114 - I did not use this defect because the description did not contain an adequately explained resolution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
