Bug ID: 162514
Summary: Spellchecker fails to recognize words ending in period
(typically abbreviation)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.0 alpha1+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In LO Writer 24.8.0.3, the spellchecker seems to have stopped recognizing words
ending with a period. In a language like Danish, an ending period is a
necessary part of many abbreviations. I have found it more difficult to find
English examples (abbreviations like "i.e." and "e.g." does not seem to be
included in the English standard dictionary).
As an example, "dr." is an abbreviation in Danish for "doktor" (same word as
English "doctor"). This abbreviation has been recognized in LO Writer version
24.2 and earlier, but not with 24.8.0, using the same dictionary.
Interestingly, the word IS recognized in Calc and Impress, so it seems to be a
problem specifically for Writer.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO Writer.
2. To use my example: Type "dr." (or "etc.") and change spell-check language to
Danish
Actual Results:
The word "dr." (or the word "etc.") is underlined in red as a spellchecking
error.
Expected Results:
The word should be recognized by the spellchecker, as it is in the
spellchecking dictionary. This is corroborated by right-click on the word for
suggestions: "dr." (or "etc.") is among the suggestions.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
