Bug ID: 434173
Summary: Konqueror automatic spell checking not working with
WebEngine
Product: konqueror
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: webenginepart
Assignee: konq-b...@kde.org
Reporter: andreas.thalham...@linux.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In Konqueror, system-wide automatic spell checking does work only with the now
depricated KHTML rendering engine, but it does not with either WebKit (never
did, now depricated) or WebEngine (currently the only actively maintained
engine).
KHTML can still be selected, but has a lot of other issues. Interestingly spell
checking is working though.
WebEngine, or rather qtwebengine, works quite well, but without spell checking.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
None. Just install and use Konqueror.
OBSERVED RESULT
Spell checking working in KDE applications after configuration in system-wide
Plasma settings, e.g. in Kate, or even in Konqueror when KHTML is selected, but
not in Konqueror with WebEngine.
EXPECTED RESULT
Spell checking should work.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Gentoo Linux (rolling)
KDE Plasma Version: 20.08.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Konqueror Version: 20.08.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I also tried Debian GNU/Linux with KDE/Plasma and there the spell checking also
didn't work in Konqueror.
I think this bug should close these two bug reports:
* Bug 342754
* Bug 341183
Both are for WebKit, which in the current version of KDE/Plasma has been
replaced by WebEngine.
