To reproduce: 1) Type out a load of rubbish on the keyboard as well as a few correctly spelled words. I used "vmw;qbjk aoeuasnth aoeu house in the street" 2) Press F7 to initiate the spell check. Actual Result: The spell check notifies the user of completion without any recognition of errors. Expected Result: The spell check should highlight each misspelled word and offer alternatives. WORKAROUND: Open the dash and run Language Support 2) Under the 'Language' tab, choose another variant of English and drag it above the US English so it takes precedence. 3) Click "Apply System-wide" and log out. On logging back in, spell check will work. Not reproducible in Xubuntu 32-bit. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libreoffice-writer 1:3.5.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic-pae 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri May 11 08:53:51 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta i386 (20120328) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_IE:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_IE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/997934/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
