Bug ID: 139375
Summary: LibreOffice Writer Spell checker set wrong language
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.3.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: alfie at ajh-knives.com
Description:
All language Defaults are set to English (USA). for unknown reason all words
started to be underlined by red wriggly lines.
The spell checker was changed to to German on 1st instance, and now the second
instance it was changed to Czech (displayed by pressing the F7)
No idea what changed the spell checker here on either occasion.
This is a permanent internal change - the defaults were not changed.
Nothing I could do to change the spellchecker back to normal function.
Both times the only fix was to purge the libreOffice from my os and reinstall
it afresh.
This happend in both libreOffice for Linux and for Microsoft Windows 10.
There are no fixes that apply to this BUG even on the forum
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Pressing F7 to check the document shows wrong language.
2.Changed the language in the spell checker window without success.
3. I have not caused it so I would not have any idea how to reproduce it.
Actual Results:
I have no idea how this happened - It happened 2x and that is 2x too many.
It was NOT done by me, and it should under no circumstances happen at all.
All language Default are still set as they should be -English(USA)
Expected Results:
I do expected this bug will be found, and fixed. Could be linked to the F7
check If F7 does detect other language as it should, it should revert back to
Default every time when it is done. Should be prevented from resetting ITSELF
to any other language permanently. If stuck, or screwed in any other way there
should be a Spellchecker reset a mouse click away, without the need to scrap
the whole LibreOffice set.
The fix for this specific problem should be only a click away and not by any
forum articles that require hours of research with no fix to be found.
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
I only use F7 option - The Actual problem is in the Spell checker working
window. Any attempt to change it back to Default here is immediately reverted
back to the wrong language.
The language selector switches ITSELF to a language different than the Default.
Default language is NOT changed so it can not be re-corrected.
The change is permanent (there is no fix I can find), and prevents the spell
checker from working. If there is a fix, then make it easily accesible from the
Spell Checker options.
All document text is underlined as if spelled wrong.
The Spellchecker text windows remain clear and spellchecker is instantly
reporting that nothing is to be corrected.
Simply the LibreOffice Writer is impossible to use.
This problem happened in Windows 10, and also in my Linux Mint 19.3 OS, so it
is a crossplatform problem = internal.
The open GL should be Enabled by the installation of LibreOffice, not by user.
I have no clue what it is and where it is.
I do not see my profile being changed while I am working on my document, all by
itself. I only have me so I assume I do have only one user profile.
I checked both just to get this report to you, and I ghope that you will look
at it seriously and not just blow me away with BS - as is the usual Tech
support response.
My best regards, stay safe
Alfie
