Description Andrey Borzenkov 2009-01-06 09:31:25 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Assuming I have automatic spell check enabled and start typing in a text box (e.g. web form input) in language different from current default. Most likely typed words are underlined as error. If I now right click to invoke spell check dialogue, the last word (adjacent to cursor) is automatically selected and instead I get dialogue that suggests replacement! And if all words are "errored" (which is likely considering language is wrong), I get this dialogue clicking everywhere. This looks as if there is no way to change language.

To actually invoke spell check dialogue to set language I need to type extra space so cursor is no more adjacent to "bad" word - only in this case does spell check dialogue pop up. This is rather non intuitive.

Proposed fix: http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/790/

Comment 2 Thomas McGuire 2009-06-06 15:33:00 UTC

Apart from the review request, I think it would be very useful to have a "Language" entry in the context menu directly, since switching the language with the dialog is rather cumbersome.

I second that. In 3.5 KMail offered direct language selection which was *very* useful.

Comment 4 Dario Andres 2009-06-06 19:06:51 UTC

There should be another bug report for that issue as I'm going to close this one when I commit the patch.

BTW why is this bug unconfirmed if you are going to commit a fix?

There, I confirmed it, hope you have a warm and fuzzy feeling now :P
