Package: abiword Version: 2.4.6-1.1 If I load abiword, and start typing a new document, and automatic spell checking is enabled, the spell check menu is greyed. If I load abiword along with a document (via command line), and automatic spell checking is enabled, the spell check menu is available. If I open a document, after loading abiword, it is also available. If the menu item is disabled (at startup, with automatic checking enabled) and I disable (and optionally re-enable) automatic spell checking, the menu item is enabled.
Additionally, after I first installed abiword, the spell checking feature was disabled, even when opening an existing document. And automatic spell checking did not work. Spell checking only started working when I disabled automatic spell checking, and then re- enabled it. I tried to reproduce this behavior, by removing ~/.AbiSuite, but I haven't been able to yet. Greying the spell check menu item when automatic spell checking is enabled (especially if only sometimes) is unnecessary. It is unexpected and confusing. Additionally, a person might genuinely want to use the manual spell checker, even if automatic is enabled. The manual spell checker gives suggestions, and allows adding words to the dictionary. The spell check menu item should only be greyed if there is no spell checker available. It is possible that #281325, which is marked as unreproducible, was reported as a direct result of this bizarre behavior. ii abiword 2.4.6-1.1 ii abiword-common 2.4.6-1.1 ii aspell 0.60.5-1 ii aspell-en 6.0-0-5.1 ii dictionaries-common 0.80.1 ii libaspell15 0.60.5-1 ii libenchant1c2a 1.3.0-2 ii libmyspell3c2 3.1-18 ii myspell-en-us 2.2.0-2 Get your free encrypted email at http://www.cyber-rights.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
