Version: 1.9.7 (using KDE 3.5.7, Debian Package 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-1 (lenny/sid)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.21-2-686 when i make a spelling mistake with the first word on the body part of an email, it gets red color but i'm unable to get a spelling correction (suggestion) menu when i right click it. anywhere else it work fine.
I can not reproduce this. For me, right-clicking the first word works fine and brings up the usual list of suggested words.
you are right, sorry ;-) let me be more specific. it only happens when i use..."i've" or "i'm" everywhere in the text, not just the first word.
confirmed. but why in the world are we marking "i've" or 'i'm" as misspellings? I wonder if we need to pass a special "allow contractions" option to aspell?
> but why in the world are we marking "i've" or 'i'm" as misspellings? Because it should be "I've" instead (capital I) :) My hope is that Laurent's shiny new kmeditor will solve problems like those.
Ah right. Interestingly, if I run aspell on a file containing "i've", I am shown a list of alternate spellings. This seems to be a problem with K3Spell. Maybe sonnet will fix in KDE4.
This is now indeed fixed in Sonnet, things like "I've" are now considered as one word.
