Summary: Option to change spellcheck language too hard to find,
doesn't persist
Product: kmail
Version: 1.11.4
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Version: 1.11.4 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
For no apparent reason (If I had an idea what caused it I'd raise another bug)
my Kmail spellchecker suddenly decided to use the American English dictionary
rather than the correct British English one.
Assuming I'd mucked up my system-wide configuration, I checked in
systemsettings and the spellcheck language there was correct. So I started
hunting around Kmail for an option to change it. The obvious place,
Settings->Configure Kmail, revealed nothing. Neither did any other menu option
or sub-option.
Eventually, more by luck than anything else, I discovered that by highlighting
a word in the composer, right-clicking and selecting "check spelling", an
option to change the language appeared.
Just to make this bug more irritating, the selected language setting only stays
correct until Kmail is restarted, when it reverts to the incorrect American
English spellings.
So essentially, there are three problems here:
1. Kmail fails to respect the system-wide spellcheck settings.
2. The option to change the language is extremely obscure.
3. Changing the language fails to persist past the current Kmail session.
