Bug ID: 153718
Summary: EDITING In a Calc table, the default document language
setting is not honored throughout the table. Instead,
some cells are set to English(USA)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.5.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
My default language as per settings is German(Austria). In a table I typed,
where each word contains one word, a (seemingly random) handful of - correctly
spelled - German words are marked as incorrect. When double-clicking in the
cell and right-clicking on the underlined word, English words are suggested
instead and the option "this word is German" appears.
I take it that Calc seems to think this word is English.
I selected the entire table and clicked the language setting in the center of
bottom panel to confirm the German(Austria) language, but nothing changed,
several individual cells are still marked as wrong (English).
I don't use Calc a lot, trying to reproduce it, I opened several existing .ods
files and found one more that had an English cell in the middle of a German
document.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LO default document language to German(Austria)
2. open a spreadsheet containing German language and set spellchecker language
to German(Austria) for entire document
3. Check if some correctly spelled words are marked as wrong.
4. Check if suggestions are English or German
Actual Results:
Re-applying the default language manually, some random cells to not pick up the
setting and remain in English
Expected Results:
When setting the document language to X (German(Austria) in my case), this
should apply to the entire document without exception.
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I cannot tell if this is language-specific.
I copied some cells from a table in an .odt document over into the offending
spreadsheet. I thought maybe they are the ones seen as English, but
a) some other cells I had manually typed are also marked wrong and
b) the original .odt doc is also set to German(Austria).
However, if cells copied over from another document were the offenders,
manually setting the document language should still turn them all to default.
It shouldn't be necessary to tell Calc for each cell individually that it's not
English.
But how that English snuck in there in the first place is also a mystery.
German(Austria) is the default setting for my OS (Manjaro) which Lo came
preinstalled on. I did not manually adjust the language setting in LO.
