Ok - I solved the problem for me: In addition to hunspell-de-de I had also the package hunspell-de-med (medical German dictionary) installed. And for some reason *only* the specialized dictionary was consulted... After deinstalling the dictionary, everything is back to normal. I'm not sure whether the problem is openoffice's or hunspell-de-med's fault In /usr/share/myspell/infos/ooo the file hunspell-de-med contained the line DICT de DE de_med maybe that's not the correct way of registering a dictionary...?
Anyway, this package can't be the reason for the OP because he is using US English. @dnyaga, could you maybe run grep "en US" /usr/share/myspell/infos/ooo/* in a terminal, to see whether you have a simliar issue? -- 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
