--- Comment #64 from daniel.schaaaf at gmail.com ---
It appears that the language list "For Selection" works in a different way than
the lists "For Paragraph" and "For All Text". (see
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161344)

The list "For Selection" can be populated with up to seven recently used
languages, and the currently used language is indicated by a check mark.

The lists "For Paragraph" and "For All Text" seem to only show languages that
are actually used in the current document (except for when bug 161344 is
triggered, and with the addition of the language "detected" by libexttextcat).
Both lists have spacing for a check mark, but they don't use that feature.

It looks like the idea of "recent languages" with a check mark for the language
at the text cursor position was implemented only half way. I actually like the
list of recent languages, and the check mark is very helpful. But I could live
with the approach to just show "languages currently in use". Only the mixture
of both approaches is confusing.



I'd like to add that the language lists "For Selection" and "For Paragraph" are
absent in other LibrOffice applications like Calc and Impress. The language
list "For All Text" doesn't work either in these applications. I do only see my
LibreOffice default language in that list, even though the currently used
language is correctly shown in the status bar at the bottom.
