spell check highlights corrected abbreviations

[dewilli]

Binary package hint: evolution

de_DE.utf8, evolution 2.26.1_0ubuntu1 @ linux 2.28-11-generic i686: german spell check doesn't recognize abbreviations ending with a "." like "bzw.","etc.","usw.",... instead, it offers the same word and by replacing those words it adds a further "." so it's like "bzw.." "etc..","usw..",... and recognised as a mistake again and again.

Hi. At first you'll need the german language-plugin, because with the
english dictionary this bug does not occur so it may be a task for your
"german team" . The main point is that spell-check detects words without
the following dot, but in the dictionary the abbreviations are stored
with this dot (with English they are stored without this dot but in
german you have to use it). You just create a new message and when there
is no more spelling-mistake you put in an abbreviation ending with "."
It will mark this as a spelling-mistake so you press F7 to launch
spell-checking.
in the proposal-wordlist you'll find the same word you've just written
end even if you replace it, it will be marked again although it'll only
add a second "."

the bug is rather a dictionnary one

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi!
I'm affected by this error, too.
Though I don't know yet where to solve the problem.
I'm assigning ubuntu-translations for the German translators to keep track of that (maybe there are translations to be changed?).

In Thunderbird it's the same.
