KMail Spell Checker identifies words without spaces between them as correct

[bubbalouie]

Binary package hint: kmail

Kmail version 1.9.6, Feisty Fawn Kubuntu, up to date with repositories as of April 26, 2007.

If the following words are typed <b> cat dog</b> they are identified as being spelled correctly, this is valid, however if the space is removed to give <b>catdog</b> which is not a word it is still identified as being spelled right. Essentially pairs of words spelled right but without a space between them are still recognized as valid.

This is not a KMail issue. I tried the same things in KWrite with the same results and both use Aspell Default for spell checking. I have reassigned this to aspell and confirmed.

I have filed a report upstream and linked it to this report. Thanks!

Hey! I just spoke with the GNU Aspell team. This isn't a bug, there is an option in KMenu->System Settings->Regional & Language->Spell Checker. Select the "Consider run-together words as spelling errors". This will fix the issue. So, this really isn't a bug after all, however I don't want to close this all the way out, so I am going to change the title and set it as a wishlist bug. I will email the dev lists and see what they think about setting this to enabled by default.

BTW, upstream closed the bug, so when it refreshes don't be surprised :)

No worries, thanks for letting me know about that.

Cheers
