Bug Description

Binary package hint: hunspell

As also confirmed in the manpage: "There are some layout problems with long lines".

I have created a patch to elinimate this problem (found in hunspell_1.2.8-6ubuntu1_i386.deb)

According to my tests after applying this patch both long lines (longer than the terminal's current width) and shorter lines are displayed correctly when using the interactive mode of hunspell.

essentially the same as the previous patch but considers the case when the "long" line appears in the context

xorho, thank you for this patch! This problem affects the upstream hunspell as well, though, and thus you should create an upstream ticket at

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=143754&atid=756395

and attach the patch there. Please mention the link to the upstream bug ticket here.

Thanks!

I created an upstream bug report and forwarded the patch there. I suggest you subscribe to it, in case upstream has further questions.

Thank you!
