Bug confirmed with Spanish (try "compania" => "compañía") and Portugese (try "edicao" => "edição"): * Firefox fails to suggest the correct word * aspell command line does suggest the correct word a the first option.
This is definitely a bug that affects many languages (at least, the ones that use the Latin alphabet with accents). I can't find other references to the same problem, though because of it, spell-checking does happen to be far less functional than it could be. I don't have a clue on what package should be marked as affected by this bug. ** Summary changed: - Desktop apps spell-check problem for french + Desktop apps spell-check problem ** Description changed: Binary package hint: aspell-fr Steps to reproduce: * install French language support. * open Firefox and go to a page which has a textarea input. (you can also use OpenOffice, Thunderbird, etc.) * type some French words without their accents, like "theatre", "celebre", "eleve", "celerite" * right click on the textarea, choose "language->French" * right click on the red underlined words : many very different words appear, but "théâtre", "célèbre", "élève", "célérité" don't. * if you type the words with their accents, they are recognized * If you type the words with only one accent missing, the correct word appears in the list of suggested words. - It seems to be an aspell-fr specific bug, because aspell-es does suggest - "lingüística" for "linguistica". + It seems to be an aspell-fr specific bug, because aspell-es does suggest "lingüística" for "linguistica". + *edit* : "compañía" is not suggested for "compania". Through the command line, aspell does suggest it as the first choice, so the bug does seem to be specific to French. Aspell is also unable to suggest the correct word when a cedilla is missing : "ca" should suggest "ça", "francais" should suggest "français". ** Tags added: firefox openoffice thunderbird ** Tags removed: french ** Changed in: ubuntu Sourcepackagename: aspell-fr => None ** Changed in: hunspell (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => hunspell ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: aspell-fr + Binary package hint: libhunspell Steps to reproduce: * install French language support. * open Firefox and go to a page which has a textarea input.
