Application names should be in the dictionaries

[Jonathan Jesse]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I may have reported this earlier, but couldn't find a bug. In working on writing various things in OpenOffice, I find it silly that I need to add application names to the standard dictionary. Especially the default/standard ones. For example: Konqueror is not in the dictionary, Amarok not in the dictionary, Kontact is not in the dictionary. It seems like it might be an easy thing to do, just setup the dictionary to contain the standard/core applications in Kubuntu and Ubuntu.

I think this bug/whislist item extends beyond OpenOffice.org. I don't know things well enough, but is there a "common" dictionary that all applications use? Konqueror does not know how to spell Kubuntu either. So somehow the dictionaries need to be updated for the applications *ubuntu uses.

Confirming this bug and changing status to wishlist, I wish some movement could be made on this?

Reassigning to the dictionary package.

I'll reset the bug as confirmed, somehow it was moved back to the new state.
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
