I have the "Russian Hunspell spellchecking dictionary" extension installed (1.0.20131101), which says it's current. For English, I just use the built-in dictionary, with a few terms I've added.

Under Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Spelling, the pull-down list offers:
English/United States
Russian/Russian Federation

I choose "English/United States," but SeaMonkey regularly changes the setting without notice or prompting to "Russian/Russian Federation." I can tell because email composition windows suddenly flag everything as misspelled, and input boxes in the browser do the same.

I could understand if it did this when I visited a Russian site or displayed an email with Cyrillic content. But that's not what's happening. It just does it randomly (AFAICT), for no apparent reason.

So I change it back to "English/United States," and after a little while SM overrules my pref and sets it to "Russian/Russian Federation" again. The interval is often only a few minutes, and usually less than an hour.

My language acceptance settings at Edit | Preferences | Browser | Languages are:
English [en]
Russian [ru]
Korean [ko]
in that order.

Any idea what's happening, and how I can get the setting to stick until and unless /I personally/ decide to change it? If it helps any, the pref in about:config at spellchecker.dictionary is en-US by default, or ru-RU (user set) when SM goes rogue. But this user never set it to ru-RU, that's a figment of SM's imagination.
