[Bug 1161675] Re: LibreOffice lacks support for documents' spell-checking in Ubuntu for most languages and dialects

2014-09-30 Thread Jon Hanna
I've found after two installs on other machines (one Ubuntu, one Mint), that I had to do a full reinstall of LibreOffice before I could get the workaround above to correctly get the dictionaries to work. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case above, so some people may not find that necessary, but hav

I looked at this again, since I'd been installing libreoffice from their website while bug 739184 had yet to be fixed. Copying over the dict-* directories from C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\share\extensions of a Windows partition to /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions and restarting Libre

2013-11-05 Thread Jon Hanna
Simon, there's a difference between shortcuts for particular actions (such as Ctrl+S to save) and keyboard access to the menu via the alt key. The two work in different ways, or in the case of Libreoffice on Ubuntu, the two fail to work in different ways. Bug 739184 is about the issue you mention.

The Ctrl+Alt equivalence to AltGr is a Windows workaround to the fact that some keyboards didn't have an AltGr (such keyboards are still sometimes found in the US) to enable people with such keyboards to attempt to write languages like Spanish and English (okay, there are other ways of writing word

Oh, I meant to add, I'd gone to Ubuntu Language Settings, and that didn't help. I note that the forms of English supported almost corresponds by those supported in that settings app, though it does include en-NZ which is one of those that Libreoffice supports through download, but not through ppa.

Yes, it makes sense if you had a document that was mostly in e.g. en-GB, with some phrases in fr, ang and la and you had dictionaries for British English and French but not for Latin or Anglo-Saxon, that it would pass by those Latin and Anglo-Saxon phrases. I think the ideal would be a list of lan

Trying today, I find that uninstalling libreoffice-gnome doesn't do the trick (even with a full reboot after it), but removing libreoffice-gtk does. Yesterday, on that day's daily build, that had managed to leave me with no menus at all! Still, at least the workaround still works. -- You receiv

This would seem to be a duplicate of 739184, though now that the menu integration is from LO themselves, maybe it's now a bug for them. Some initial testing yesterday seemed to suggest that the workarounds from that bug no longer work, making LibreOffice and Unity an either/or proposition, but I'l

This has gotten so much worse with quantal. Before we had the workaround of uninstalling lo-menubar and putting up with the menu not visually matching the rest of the shell. Now there's no longer that in-between option (it's quite literally "quantal"). I haven't tried installing libre office from

Ironically, my finding the design decision to have the launcher on the left in Ubuntu encouraged me to move the taskbar on my Windows install there too (something I'd tried before with a smaller screened laptop that had 1280*800 as its native resolution, and quickly undid). It works great on a 1600
