Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Default language for spell checker is automatically set to Japanese on my system, probably due to Country and Language I selected, but there is no spell checker for this language. So I tried to change it to English but it is always reverted to Japanese. Fortunately, I can select English spell checker in KMail composer but it is not possible in KWrite.
Here using: Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-889120 KDE: 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221)) kdelibs svn rev. 903451 / kdebase svn rev. 903451 on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10 I can confirm this bug. The default language isn't getting applied
