I did not realise that the appropriate dictionary was not installed. I found the appropriate language package on the Fedora repos (I don't remember what it was called) and was able to install it. The spellcheck worked well after that. But I do agree - at the very least, when the spellcheck is run with a language that has no spellcheck dictionary, I think it should return and say "no dictionary installed" rather than just "spellcheck complete". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
