Chromium browser does not change spell checking language

[Thomas Schweikle]

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

Enter some text into a text entry field (maybe lauchpad "Further information". Right click into the entered text, select "Spell checker options", then desired language.

Nothing happens.

Again right click into the entered text, select "Spell checker options". The spell checker language did not change! Again select the desired language. Nothing happens.

The only way to change spell checker language is to right click into the entered text, then select "Spell checker options", then "Language settings ...". Change the language to the desired one, close the dialogue. Now right clicking into the text, selecting "Spell checker options" shows the new language.

This is at least annoying!

This Bug isn't fixed. It is as before: the language Chromium is started with will be checked, but you can't change the language on the fly. The menu entries are there, but they are ignored.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

This appears to be fixed in recent releases of chromium.
