Description simone 2010-07-10 11:31:03 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

First of all:
- I'm using KNotes version 3.9 (it isn't included in the version list).
- I'm using KDE and KNotes coming with Slackware 13.1 (just to make sure this is what you mean by "Slackware Packages" in "Software Distribution Method").

After right-clicking on a note and deselecting the "Auto Spell Check" options, spell check is actually disabled. However, if the application is closed and restarted (both manually in the same KDE session and when KDE is restarted, e.g. after reboot) spell checking is enabled again. This happens for every note I create.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just kill KNotes and re-execute it.

Actual Results:  
No matter whether you had previosly disabled spell checking, it is automatically re-enabled.

Expected Results:  
Spell check should be permanently disabled, I think...

Comment 1 Yakov Markovitch 2011-05-15 17:07:39 UTC

Confirming, same behaviour.
KNotes 3.9
KDE 4.6.3
OpenSuSE 11.4 64-bit

Comment 2 Paolo 2011-11-06 14:24:31 UTC

Configuration: 
O.S.: Ubuntu 10.10 [64-bit] locale system language US. KNotes
Version 3.9 Using KDE Development Platform 4.5.5 (KDE 4.5.5). 

Description: 
If I disable the 'spell checker' in Knotes, it keeps the setting just for current session. At next login 'spell checker' is always ON. No way to make permanent the given setting. I'm thinking to disable 'KDE spell checker' until this problem will be fixed. Thanks, Paolo

Comment 3 Eelko Berkenpies 2012-02-03 15:08:42 UTC

I can confirm this on Fedora 16 running KDE 4.8.0/KNotes 4.8.0.

Comment 4 secondary.address 2012-06-11 11:23:06 UTC

Confirming on:
Kubuntu 12.04 LTS,
KDE 4.8.2/KNotes 4.8.2

Comment 5 Christopher Smith 2012-06-21 02:57:13 UTC

Confirming on KDE/KNotes 4.8.2 on Gentoo.  This bug has been outstanding for two years now; can we please get it confirmed?

Comment 6 I'm anonymous. Delete me. 2012-07-08 00:31:35 UTC

I confimed this bug on KNotes 3.9 on KDE 4.6.5.

Please fix this or I'll ditch KNotes for good.

Comment 7 Andrei ILIE 2012-09-05 00:20:09 UTC

Confirming on KDE / KNotes 4.8.5. I voted for this bug.
There's no (obvious) way to globbaly disable the spell checker. Yet...
