--- Comment #10 from Alexander Dietz <[email protected]> --- So, when I select "Language" from the "Tools" menu, it seems that this ""language"" is not just for spell checking but also for other purposes. First, is this documented somewhere? I found just this page: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-GB/text/shared/01/06010500.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=MAC but it seems a bit restricting. It does not really explain what the language selection under "Tools" -> "Language" really means. Second, it is not clear - and not documented(?) what that green checkmark means. In some other forum I asked about this and it seems this green checkmark indicates the installed language. But I see a green checkmark for "For selection", but not in "For paragraph" or "For all text". Does this mean the language is installed only when I check a selection? I am really positive that there is a kind of bug, or some misconfiguration or something. Third, then I choose "Tools" -> "Spelling" this opens the spelling dialog where no language is selected. When I choose "German (Germany)" then nothing happens. I would expect that either the spell checking starts, or to "save" that spell-checking language as the language I want to use for spell checking. When I close this dialog and open it again, the selected language is gone. Fourth, it seems that when I choose a spell-checking language (which I can chose via "Preferences" -> "Language Settings" -> "Languages"), for example "German (Germany)" then the spell checking works via "Tools" -> "Spelling". I find it non-intuitive that you have to select the spell-checking language via "Preferences". Fifth, when I quit LibreOffice and reopen the document, my settings seem to have vanished. I have to go to "Preferences" -> "Language Settings" -> "Languages" again to select "German (Germany)". Until then I only see the language listed as "German {de}". As I hopefully have shown (which I also can do via skype etc), I find the spell-checking language non-intuitive, and there are functionalities that I am sure do not work as supposed to. Let me know if you have more specific questions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
