Package: iceweasel Version: 3.5.5-1 Severity: normal
The languages list for the spelling is extremely long and has no order. I find myself using different languages and changing the writing language often, therefore I have the following dictionaries installed: myspell-ca, myspell-de-de, myspell-en-gb, myspell-en-us, myspell-es, myspell-fr. After last update, the "Languages" menu in iceweasel lists around 17 "Spanish / " dictionaries (main annoyance), this might be a bug in myspell (please confirm if you agree) however iceweasel should also be able to handle this better. Also some of the entries are duplicated, having the list alphabetically ordered and without duplications would be a good start. This bug is related to this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557539 Which is marked as fixed in upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528893 But that fix has no relation to the problem of duplication and lack of order. I wrote a quick patch that seems to work, to order the entries and ignore duplicated ones (that increases menu's usability), however I'm not sure that it's the optimum nor the preferred way to do it but hopefully it will give someone the idea to make it right. A patch making submenus for each language with more than 3 entries or so would be the ultimate solution, but I don't really know how to do that. You can find attached the mentioned patch, written in Debian Squeeze, with 2.6.30-2-amd64 kernel over the file "toolkit/content/inlineSpellCheckUI.js" from the sources downloaded with "apt-get source iceweasel" and this sources.list line: deb-src http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (600, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 3.2.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.2-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps 1:3.2.8-2 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc 22.8-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.5-2 XUL + XPCOM application runner iceweasel recommends no packages.
