v31.5.0 on Mageia 4 (updated as of today). I dont know if this is the same thing but....
Trying to edit the dictionary. Some words that are obviously wrong in the composition being checked but are not flagged as "wrong" by the spell checker - suggesting that the bad spelling got into the dictionary. But opening the dictionary doesnt reveal these words... and in particular one word that is now never flagged up as wrong but is also not (erroenously) in the dictionary is "teh" (meaning that I have to do a search-and-replace of "teh" to "the").... struggling to get anything more defintive from the symptom and I'm nowhere near a diagnosis - but this did start quite promptly on instaling 31.5.0 - just upgraded to a new machine (old one had several vesions back) and this started when the updates were finally all in during the machine build - btw on the verison that came in with the Mageia 4 distro this appeared not to manifest. Might get to learn to spell properly mind ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1229172 Title: Thunderbird "Spell check as you type" stopped working after update to 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise-updates) Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Invalid Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing the 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise-updates) update to Mozilla Thunderbird on 12.04, the "Spell check as you type" feature no longer works. Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2 (precise) restores the functionality. Steps to reproduce: * Open a new message. * Verify "Options->Spell Check As You Type" is selected * Type something like "check my spleling please" in the body of the message Expected Result: * spleling should be underlined in red and when right-clicked offer correction options Actual Result: * No words are underlined to indicate mispellings were found. Right-clicking on "spleling" shows the standard context menu. Toggling the spell check as you type option has no effect. Click the "Spelling" button, however, does lauch the spell checker and identify the mispelled word. Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2 (precise) restores the check as you type functionality. ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Release: 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1229172/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
