spell checking does not work on current amd64/live CD

[Martin Pitt]

Subject says it all. It works fine on ppc/live.

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep openoffice
ia32-libs-openoffice.org install
openoffice.org install
openoffice.org-base install
openoffice.org-calc install
openoffice.org-common install
openoffice.org-core install
openoffice.org-draw install
openoffice.org-gnome install
openoffice.org-help-en-us install
openoffice.org-impress install
openoffice.org-java-common install
openoffice.org-l10n-common install
openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb install
openoffice.org-l10n-en-us install
openoffice.org-l10n-en-za install
openoffice.org-math install
openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us install
openoffice.org-writer install

ppc/live does not have any other l10n related packages installed.

In Toosl->Options, Language Settings -> Languages, I have to change "Default language for documents", "Western" from "German (Austria)" to "English (UK)" (or US); these are the only available languages (with an icon).

Not sure about this, though. My locale is German, but only the English word lists are on the CD. It's just strange that it works on ppc, I will check that default setting there the next time.

ppc/live (with German locale, but only English language pack/support available) defaults to English(USA) spell checking.

Any change on a later live CD?

I'm rejecting this bug since the current behaviour makes sense. Using an English spell checker in a German locale (if the German dictionaries are not installed) doesn't make much sense.
