I'm not at all sure what you are suggesting here. OpenOffice is
neither a gun nor an engine, so it won't commonly "misfire". And if
software does go wrong, you can hardly predict what it will do.
We all know that if OpenOffice thinks it has the appropriate
dictionary installed, a corrupted user profile can prevent it
operating correctly and make it flag all words as misspelled. (And
the original questioner confirmed that this was his problem and
solution, in fact.) But that's a language *match*, not a mismatch. In
the case of a "mismatch" - surely where there is no dictionary to
match the declared language? - nothing is flagged. Even though one
could expect it to, simply not having the correct dictionary
installed does not create this error. Unless you've seen reports of
behaviour the rest of us haven't, that is ...
You talk about a "language detection routine" as if this sets the
language for text, but surely it limits itself to the languages it
offers in the Status Bar and the menus? Since it doesn't itself set
the language, it cannot affect any flagging of supposedly misspelled words.
