Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
While composing an email in Thunderbird, when I go to switch
dictionaries from, say, English (US) to Spanish (ES), the drop-down list
that appears is enormous. It turns out that what I'm seeing is all of
the languages found within OpenOffice.org's "Hyphenator" dictionary. The
list starts with "hyph_cs_CZ" and continues on down to "hyph_uk_UA".
It's quite distracting to see it. I'd like to see exactly four
dictionaries in the list.
This is what I get when I run Thunderbird in a terminal and try to
change dictionaries in the composer:
~$ mozilla-thunderbird
DOUBLE-CLICK: 400 --> -1 THRESHOLD: 8 --> -1 Hash Manager Error : 4
Error - could not open affix description file

/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/components/myspell/hyph_fr_FR.aff

Mind you, I get no errors or any other output in the terminal when I
select one of the "normal" dictionaries, or when I do anything else.
I'm having exactly the same issue on both my home and work computer,
both running Feisty, although otherwise quite different desktops. The
only halfway reasonable suspicion that I have as to a cause involves my
setting Options in OOo Word Processor. In Tools > Options > Language
Settings > Writing Aids I have selected "Check in all languages" on both
computers, and above that the "Hyphenator" dictionary is selected. I've
tried deselecting and reselecting these options, with no success
If this is the cause, it would seem to be a reportable bug. One
application's use of Myspell or Hyphenator shouldn't affect another's,
as far as I can tell. Thank you very much for your attention to this.
