Description Victor Mataré 2011-10-22 13:19:52 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

I'm using hunspell with the myspell-de dictionary, and it seems that kate wants to replace every ocurrence of "ß" with "ss", which is obviously wrong. Strangely enough, Umlauts like ä, ö, ü seem to work fine. When I run hunspell manually, it recognizes the input correctly, but the output from the dictionary is not converted to UTF-8:

# hunspell -i utf-8 -d de_DE_frami
Hunspell 1.3.2
beißen
*

beissen
& beissen 2 0: bei�en, bissen

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
use kate with hunspell and myspell-de, enter "beißen".

Actual Results:  
correction proposed: "beissen" (wrong)

Expected Results:  
"beißen" is recognized as correct

Sonnet issue, if any.
Comment 2 Victor Mataré 2016-03-29 20:05:59 UTC 
somehow the issue resolved itself, bug is obsolete.
