Created attachment 102501 [details] spelling does not work orthography/spelling seems not to work in kmail editor version 5.33. Whenever I select "German", it turns to "Abkhazian", a language, I never heard of. See attached pic.
This occurs for me too: - Under Settings->Configure KMail->Identities - edit an identitiy - go to "Advanced" tab - The "Autocorrection lanuage" field shows "Abkhazian". - Change to "English" - Click "OK" Returning back to the same setting, the field has reverted to "Abkhazian". KMail 5.43.3 from Fedora 25 packages.
I confirm that it's buggy. I will investigate it.
I see the same behavior: Fedora 27 KMail 5.6.3 I suspect it is selecting Abkhazian because it is the first in the list. I find it strange that languages appear for which I don't have any dictionaries installed.
The setting appears to stick now. I installed langpacks-en I then went to System Settings -> Region -> Language and selected English as my preferred language. I then went to System Settings -> Region -> Spell Check and selected American English as my standard language. The setting in KMail's identity configuration now appears to stick. However, automatic spell check is still not happening.
