Can you confirm whether the “French text” described in these steps contains any errors? If I follow the steps as described and type a correct French sentence with no spelling mistakes then I get the behavior as reported. However, I think this sort of makes sense. Before the spell check dialog is displayed I get another dialog saying “the spellcheck is complete” and then the spelling dialog is shown with “text language” set to “[None]”. It behaves the same way on Mac and Linux for me. I think this makes sense because it didn’t find any errors, so no text is selected and the non-existant text has no language. However, if I deliberately make a spelling mistake before starting the spell checker then the spelling dialog shows up and the “text language” is set to French. Again this makes sense because it is saying that it has found a spelling mistake and the language of the text for that word is set to French. I wonder if there’s some misunderstanding going on about how the dialog is supposed to work. If I understand correctly, picking a value in the “text language” drop-down box in the dialog doesn’t change the language to use for spell checking for the rest of the check. Instead it changes the language of the text for the word that it is currently trying to correct. I guess the idea is that for example if you write a document that is mostly in French but has a few sentences in English, then the spell checker will report the English words as mistakes. Instead of clicking Ignore you can use the dialog box to correct the language of the text in the document so in future the spell checker will stop reporting that word. In that case it makes sense that for subsequent mistakes the spell checker reverts back to French (or whatever language the rest of the document is in). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
