Description Gerhard Stengel 2010-07-26 20:22:03 UTC

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; de) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.60

spell checking in kmail using German default dictionary doesn't work even though the footline tells me it's active. Switching to English Default dictionary makes it work. If I choose German(Germany) it works, too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new mail
2. make sure the selected dictionary is German
3. enter some wrong text in the mail and enforce  spell checking by Extras|Rechtschreibung

Actual Results:  
Spell check is reported as successfully completed, no typos are found

Expected Results:  
a dialogue shoud pop up to report any spelling error
the wrong text should be underlined

workaround is to select German(Germany)

See also the thread http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-de/2010-07/msg00909.html

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-de/2010-07/msg00963.html has the pointer to the solution.

Use "Deutsch (Germany)" instead of "Deutsch".
