Version: 1.5.94 (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 20031005 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21 While typing a new Email I got a 'too many errors, disabling spell check' in my statusbar. Fine. When I go to 'Options' and turn the feature off I expect the statusbar to be cleared.
Created attachment 6598 [details] Patch clearing status bar after automatic spell check disable Here's a patch solving this bug. I think it's less more than a workaround but it fixes the bug. I think the problem is that then spell check is switched off automatically after to many misspelled words KDictSpellingHighlighter sends no signal to KMComposewin to update the status bar. So it must be cleared by hand. A problem could be that other messages not concerning spell check are cleared too. But when testing the changes i couldn't produce this. What's your opinion about the patch?
In KDE4, the spell checker no longer is disabled when there are too many errors, so this bug is not valid anymore.
