Bug ID: 156062
Summary: LanguageTool phones home even when disabled
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.4.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In LibreOffice 7.5.4.2, LanguageTool tries to phone home even when it is
explicitly disabled. It does so when the application is launched.
Steps to reproduce:
- assuming Tools > Options > Language Settings > LanguageTool server > Enable
LanguageTool is ticked
- untick
- hit Apply/Ok
- close every LibreOffice window
- open an office document or launch a LibreOffice component (Writer, Calc...)
Expected results:
- No connection to LanguageTool server detected
- Application loads fast
Actual results:
- LibreOffice still tries to connect to api.languagetool.org. It looks like a
DNS request (UDP 53)
- Application loading time is affected
I'm not here to discuss whether LanguageTool integration in LibreOffice is a
good thing or not. I think that when a user disables LanguageTool, this module
should be totally disabled and should not try to initiate any outbound
connection.
