The issue is caused by myspell-en-au, myspell-en-gb and myspell-en-us, which create both the en_*.dic/aff files, and the en-* links (Note the difference between _ and -). I'm not a programmer and don't know how firefox works, but I suspect it's just scanning all files in the /usr/share/myspell/dicts directory which is why it ends up with two copies. The '-' version is the one firefox likes as it gives the proper name to it. Can the '_' version simply be renamed, or do applications use this version?
dictionary.lst appears to be an OpenOffice.org thing (installed by openoffice.org-common). I'm by no definition an expert in this area, but it seems like there needs to be an improvement of standards in the dictionary/languages area. ** Changed in: language-support-en (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: language-support-writing-en (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- language-support-en pollutes Firefox's spell-check languages list https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157921 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
