Bug ID: 94799
Summary: EDITING - Writer Spell Checker Stopped Working After
Version Upgrade and Fatal Error
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: junk_2...@live.co.uk
Working on Windows 8.1.
Had upgraded LibreOffice from 4.4.5 to v5.
Subsequently upgraded to v5.0.1 bug fix release.
Didn't notice any problem when using this.
Then upgraded to v5.0.2.
LibreOffice did not work after this, it crashed when opening some documents.
Note sure why.
Uninstalled and re-installed LibreOffice and the document crashing went away.
Noticed the other evening that in writer spell checking as you type was not
working.
When I tried manually spell checking the document the spelling checking box
opened, but then the window that says it has finished appeared almost
immediately saying "The spellcheck is complete."
Obvious spelling mistakes were not being flagged.
I did an internet search and found references to people have had the problem
before about the spell checker not working and that I should check if:
Tools -> Options -> Language settings -> Writing Aids
and if the "Writing Aids" "Available language modules:" box was empty, as that
was the problem. It was empty.
Note that in the "User-defined dictionaries" box below, en-GB, en-US, standard
and technical dictionaries are defined and enabled.
In the "Options:" box "Check spelling as you type" etc is also enabled.
The suggested fix was to download and install the "English Dictionaries"
(dict-en.oxt) extension.
I downloaded this, but when I tried to install this using:
Tools -> Extension Manager…
The first time I tried to open the extension manager nothing happened, trying a
second time and the extension manager opened. As soon as I pressed the "Add…"
button a pop-up window with a fatal error message appeared (the message is
below). On pressing "OK" in the pop-up window LibreOffice closed.
Window banner message: LibreOffice 5.0 - Fatal Error
Window body message:
[context="user"] caught unexpected
com.sun.star.deployment.DeploymentException: Extension Manager:
failed to read data entry in configuration backend db:
file:///C:/Users/Colin/AppData/Roaming/LibreOffice/4/user/uno_packa
ges/cache/registry/com.sun.start.comp.deployment.configuration.Pack
ageRegistryBackend/backenddb.xml
I noticed that this message was referring to "LibreOffice/4/" and I am using
LibreOffice 5.
I have tried uninstalling both the language pack and LibreOffice, re-booting
the PC and then installing again, re-booting the machine. Both problems (no
spell checking and extension manager fatal crash) still occur.
