Tex2002ans <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE --- Comment #5 from Tex2002ans <[email protected]> --- I'm going to mark this as a DUPLICATE of Bug #95274. I think the root cause is: - The default "language selection" LO is showing you in the Status Bar isn't showing you your installed Dictionaries first (English + Slovak). So when you: 1. Select all lines - "English" doesn't appear in the Status Bar list. - It just defaults to showing you your main OS language (Slovak) + a few "random" other languages. 2. Select 1 English line - "English" appears in the list fine. - You chose "English". 3. Select all lines again. - "English" now appears in the list all the time, since you manually chose it in Step 2 above. I think this "weird case" of: - You just opened a document. - You haven't manually chosen a language yet. and can definitely use some better defaults. Starting out with: - listing all your INSTALLED DICTIONARIES FIRST which would be a HUGE step in the right direction. :) Then adjusting the auto-detected/"random" languages appearing in that list would be smaller icing on top too. :) - - - Side Note #1: As you write your document, you have to correctly mark the languages, whether you are writing in Slovak or English. There are 3 different ways of changing the Language: - /r/LibreOffice: "Support for spell checking for multiple (two or more) languages" - https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/u2ply9/deleted_by_user/i4kfmdn/ - Method #1: Menu - Method #2: Status Bar - This is what you did in your video! - Method #3: Styles And you can also follow the topic I most recently wrote in: - /r/LibreOffice: "Spell check, multiple languages in the same document" - https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/1iwk0ka/spell_check_multiple_languages_in_the_same/meg38fi/ After you pick/set the language ONCE, it will always appear in that list. - - - Side Note #2: There are even a few other tricks, like LibreOffice "automatically switching languages based on what keyboard layout" you're using. So if you type using the: - Slovak keyboard, LO will automatically mark text as Slovak. - English keyboard, LO will automatically mark text as English. (But this only works in Windows currently. On Linux, the OS functionality doesn't exist yet. See Bug #108151 + the meta Bug #113300.) Also see: - /r/LibreOffice: "LibreOffice Writer keeps switching languages on me" - https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/1ctdhit/libreoffice_writer_keeps_switching_languages_on_me/l4bfnxc/ - - - Side Note #3: Maybe some other potential feature can be: - Looking for which keyboard layouts you have installed. - Using that to guess / populate the Status Bar list of languages too. But I think #95274 alone would squish most of the annoying issue you were coming across. :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 95274 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
