--- 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. :)
