More news. Plasma 5 seems to use hunspell library for spellcheck, but does not look for hunspell dictionaries... Removing hunspell dictionaries and installing myspell dictionaries improves the situation
The regional settings -> spell check configuration in plasma 5 is still a mess, because it lists hyphenation dictionaries ad gets insane or repeated entries. However now I have a working 'American English (United States) [US]' entry at last. This goes side to side with a non working American English (United States) which picks "en" instead of "en_US" as a language selector for hunspell and fails and a nonsensical (but working) American English (United States) [GB] if it is GB, it is not American English United States, is it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478405 Title: REGRESSION: spellcheck does not work in PLASMA 5 applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1478405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
