Daniel,
Well, well, well! I don't recall ever looking at that portion of settings
in the many years I've used lyx (all on linux).
Turns out lyx was set to use enchant (never knew of this before) where I
used to use aspell or ispell. (Here, aspell, enchnat, ispell, and hunspell
are all installed and I've no idea how, or why, they differ.) Anyway, I was
offered aspell as an option so I changed the spell checker to that. The
option, 'accept compound words' was checked yet apparently not available in
enchant. Because this non-acceptance was a chenge from the past lyx must
have changed the default spell checker in a recent upgrade and I hadn't
noticed. Probably because I didn't go looking for the reason.
Thanks very much for the lesson.
Regards,
Rich
