SUMMARY Whenever replacing a word with the spellchecker dialogue and having chosen another dictionary than the uppermost, the dictionary language selection dropdown menu always is reset to the uppermost language entry. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install several hunspell ductionaries (eg. en-us and en-gb-ise) 2. Mis-type some words so that the spellchecker recognises the correct spelling. Examples: borken, ignornat 3. Invoke the spellchecker via Tools -> Spelling -> Spelling 4. Select an entry from the "language" drop-down menu that isn't the upper-most one 5. Let the spellchecker replace the incorrect word with the correct one OBSERVED RESULT The language menu entry changes back to the upper-most entry (in my case American English) EXPECTED RESULT The language menu entry shall remain as it was before clicking the "Replace" button SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: NixOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.49.0 Qt Version: 5.11.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I first encountered this bug in the Kile LaTeX editor, only to find that it is actually a bug in the Kate editor part.
FWIW I couldn't reproduce this with ktexteditor5.58.0 and kate-19.04.2. Can you still reproduce this issue?

I can still reproduce the issue with kate part 5.58.0 and Kate 19.04.2, the latest version currently packaged in nixpkgs unstable. If you expect a difference between 19.04.01 and .02 I can also package the latter version and try it. There might be an additional step needed though: Before clicking the "replace" buttun, change the content of the "Replace with:" text box. I used the following text: ``` borken ignornat we didn't start teh fire, but woh did then? ``` I have the hunspell dictionaries for American Englisch, British Englisch -ise and German installed and used the British one as default.
Sorry, I still can't reproduce this issue. Could be something else with your config? Did you try with a new user account?
