[Desktop-packages] [Bug 36227] Re: gedit doesn't handle apostrophes correctly when spell-checking
Same 12.04 LTS, I looked over the source code and found that sections of
gedit-spell-checker reference that it was modified from gtkspell 2.0.2.
At gtkspell.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog references in a later version:
version 2.0.11 (2005-05-27):
* Re-enable apostrophe word-breaking workarounds (GNOME bug #97545).
* Additional translations (see po/ChangeLog).
This seems that they have found a fix for gtkspell and may help to solve
the problem in gedit-spell-checker
The relevent part of the code is:
code
static gboolean
gtkspell_text_iter_forward_word_end(GtkTextIter *i) {
GtkTextIter iter;
/* heuristic:
* if we're on an singlequote/apostrophe and
* if the next letter is alphanumeric,
* this is an apostrophe. */
if (!gtk_text_iter_forward_word_end(i))
return FALSE;
if (gtk_text_iter_get_char(i) != '\'')
return TRUE;
iter = *i;
if (gtk_text_iter_forward_char(iter)) {
if (g_unichar_isalpha(gtk_text_iter_get_char(iter))) {
return (gtk_text_iter_forward_word_end(i));
}
}
return TRUE;
}
/code
Which it looks like someone has already adapted into a workaround here
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131576
Looks like It may have been abandoned, since the fix existed since 2004,
and the bug since around 2002,

10 years later...

I confirm this is still a problem in Precise Beta 2. If this can't be fixed, then the auto-spell-check feature should probably be removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36227 Title: gedit doesn't handle apostrophes correctly when spell-checking Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: In Progress Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Open gedit, type in wouldn't without the quotes, and either enable Autocheck spelling (Tools menu) or use Check Spelling to open the dialogue.
