Is the title of this bug maybe incorrect? I think the real problem is "You can't select the default language you want Gedit to use for spell checking".
Sounds like that was true in 2009 & I think it is still true today, isn't it? Seems to be to me using Ubuntu 12.10. I live in France, most of my PC is in English, though the keyboard is French, and I only want spell checking when I write in French. Gedit decides I want English, for whatever reason (& I don't care what reason) & I have to set French EVERY time I want to use it. What I would like (and absolutely expect) is to be able to select whatever language I want (in my case French) as default, then select whatever other language I want (maybe German, English, USA or whatever) if I want, occasionally, with fallback to French next time. I certainly don't expect to be uninstalling dictionaries to trick Gedit into doing something... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315562 Title: spell check uses wrong English dictionary To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/315562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
