Description Philipp 2006-01-14 03:51:19 UTC

Version:           0.11 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hello!!

When I use Kopete I always let the "auto spell checking" function enabled. When the spell checker marks a word as wrong that actually exists I click on the green icon for the spell checking menu and try to add it to the dictionary as a new word. However it seems, that this is not working, also after a restart of Kopete the word is still marked as wrong when I type it in Kopete.
However it seems to work, when I add the word to the dictionary under KMail instead. This way it is also not marked wrong anymore under Kopete. But of course it would be more convenient if I could add it under Kopete directly too ;)

It also seems that I am not the only one having this problem, here a post of mine about this in a forum (German):

Thank you very much for all your great work and greetings!!

I remember having the same problem with konq in kubuntu. never
reported it 'cause I've been in gentoo since then, and don't normally
use a spellchecker. so I don't think it's *only* a kopete problem...
but who knows, maybe both apps made the same mistake.

I'll try to remember to fiddle with it next time I'm at a kubuntu comp.

It seems this is not only Kubuntu specific. i ran in to the same thing on Fedora core 4 (Kopete 0.11 using KDE 3.5.0-4.2.fc4).

This bug is similar to bug #113362

Comment 4 Damien Gombault 2008-07-25 23:15:31 UTC

Adding words to the dictionary seems to be fixed in KDE 4.1 RC1.

Comment 5 Dario Andres 2009-06-02 14:53:11 UTC

Here using:

Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy  971295)
KDE: 4.2.88 (KDE 4.2.88 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090527))
kdelibs svn rev. 975695 / kdebase svn rev. 975695
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.4

I can confirm that adding a new word to the spell checking works, even after restarting the application.
