@crxssi: I suggest opening a new bug report. The issue discussed here was closed as resolved, it would be better to start a new conversation in a separate bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847247 Title: External dictionaries are not loaded Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Invalid Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in thunderbird source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in thunderbird source package in Eoan: Fix Released Bug description: On Ubuntu Eoan and most recent Thunderbird, the external Hunspell dictionaries are not available anymore on Thunderbird for spellcheck.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1847247]
I am running vanilla Firefox 78.3.0 ESR under Linux and neither $DICPATH nor the spellchecker.dictionary_path preference is working (also not working in Firefox 68ESR). I have a customized medical dictionary that I have used for many years under older versions of Firefox that I now cannot use. I assume it is supposed to be as simple as: $ ls /opt/dictionary $ file * en-US.aff: ASCII text en-US.dic: UTF-8 Unicode text $ export DICPATH="/opt/dictionary" $ firefox Yet it is not using the external dictionary I defined (showing words in that external dictionary as misspelled, still). I tried also adding export DICTIONARY="en-US" before launching and that didn't help. I am hoping someone might have some idea what is going on. Is this option now broken? And I using it wrong? I would open a new bug report if I were confident I am not doing something wrong, myself.

Thanks for the feedback. Having /usr/lib/thunderbird/dictionaries be a symlink to /usr/share/hunspell was an elegant way to reuse dictionaries installed system-wide instead of re-packaging them specifically for thunderbird. It's a bit of a shame to loose this functionality, but I understand this wasn't designed specifically with this in mind anyway. I'll experiment with a distro patch to restore this functionality, and if I come up with something that works and that's not too ugly I'll share it here.

Setting `DICPATH` to `/usr/share/hunspell` works indeed, thanks for the tip Kris.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1847247]
If you want Thunderbird to use system Hunspell dictionaries, you can set the `DICPATH` environment variable to point to the system dictionary directory. I'm not particularly happy with that arrangement given how expensive scanning and loading dictionary directories at startup, but I recognize how convenient it is, so I've left that functionality in place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847247 Title: External dictionaries are not loaded Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Invalid Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: On Ubuntu Eoan and most recent Thunderbird, the external Hunspell dictionaries are not available anymore on Thunderbird for spellcheck.

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for the bug report. It has been a while since that patch was
landed so my memory may be a bit rusty, but I don't believe we
considered the use case of Linux distributions side-loading dictionaries
in this way...
Would it be a useful work-around to convert these dictionaries to the
[WebExtension dictionary format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/dictionaries)? I
haven't tested this myself, but at least in Firefox it is [possible to
side-load
extensions](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish
/distribute-sideloading/#standard-extension-folders), so perhaps
installing such extensions to a location like
`/usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/{uuid}` may be a useful workaround?

Yes, we considered it. That directory was never intended for third-party use.

Thunderbird 68 is not able to make use of external hunspell dictionaries provided by the distribution in /usr/lib/thunderbird/dictionaries. Actual results: This is a regression compared to thunderbird 60.9.0 and earlier, which locates and uses hunspell dictionaries installed in /usr/lib/thunderbird/dictionaries. As far as I can tell, other distributions (such as Fedora 30) are similarly affected. Expected results: It looks like https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla- unified/rev/8810007550b1fdeeae0f5d797c4a511818a57be7 is the revision that removed this ability. The tracking bug with the rationale is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1457321, but it doesn't mention anywhere the way Linux distributions install external hunspell dictionaries and make them available to thunderbird. I wonder whether this was an oversight, or whether that use case was indeed considered but deemed unimportant when compared to the performance improvements that this change brought. Either way, would it be possible to consider adding back the ability to load external dictionaries from the file system, maybe behind a setting that would be off by default?
