Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.5-1
Severity: normal
The languages list for the spelling is extremely long and has no order.
I find myself using different languages and changing the writing
language often, therefore I have the following dictionaries installed:
myspell-ca, myspell-de-de, myspell-en-gb, myspell-en-us, myspell-es,
myspell-fr.
After last update, the "Languages" menu in iceweasel lists around 17
"Spanish / " dictionaries (main annoyance), this might be a bug in
myspell (please confirm if you agree) however iceweasel should also be
able to handle this better.
Also some of the entries are duplicated, having the list alphabetically
ordered and without duplications would be a good start.
This bug is related to this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557539
Which is marked as fixed in upstream:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528893
But that fix has no relation to the problem of duplication and lack of
order.
I wrote a quick patch that seems to work, to order the entries and
ignore duplicated ones (that increases menu's usability), however I'm
not sure that it's the optimum nor the preferred way to do it but
hopefully it will give someone the idea to make it right.
A patch making submenus for each language with more than 3 entries or so
would be the ultimate solution, but I don't really know how to do that.
You can find attached the mentioned patch, written in Debian Squeeze,
with 2.6.30-2-amd64 kernel over the file
"toolkit/content/inlineSpellCheckUI.js" from the sources downloaded with
"apt-get source iceweasel" and this sources.list line:

I cloned and reassigned against all the dictionary packages that are yet
to be fixed. I'll just close the iceweasel bug, as the iceweasel part
*is* fixed.

There is nothing that can be done here, as these are entries for
variants.
