Hi Landry, i've had a look: there is only "spellchecker.dictionary"; no "spellchecker.dictionary_path". The current setting for the former is : "user set" under the "status" column, "string" under the "Type" column and "en-GB" under the "Value" column. Do you want me to add something to test it further?
