I see the same behaviour as the OP - although only with non-English (in my case: German) documents, see the screenshot. Language settings are correct, the spell checker makes German suggestions - but strangely complicated ones for very simple words...
When started from commandline I get the following error when I right-click on a word to get suggestions: error - missing word count in dictionary file Hash Manager Error : 4 I am using: openoffice.org-writer/jaunty uptodate 1:3.0.1-1ubuntu4 hunspell-de-de/jaunty uptodate 20071211-1ubuntu1 ** Attachment added: "oo_german_spelling.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23446175/oo_german_spelling.png ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Spellcheck in Openoffice 3.0 (Jaunty alpha) flags all words as mis-spellings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
