2006-02-18 02:30:33 Paul Dufresne openoffice.org: severity Normal Wishlist
2006-02-18 02:30:33 Paul Dufresne openoffice.org: statusexplanation Hi! Although I agree with you that from a user standpoint, this is really a bug. But I am quite convinced that from the programmer view, this is a bit hard to implement, because of the different spell checkings implementations. Actually, I was not even able to have my gedit have an english or french dictionary installed (I tried to install aspell, ispell, with iamerican and ifrench). So I looked for the GNOME Gedit page at: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gedit/ and the associated bugs, and found this bug that have a patch to have gedit spell checker use Enchant, that wish to integrate the different spell checkers technology: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316031 Unfortunately, the spell checker is a plugin in Gedit, and, reading this message, I see that they are totally changing their internal technology for plugins (don't know how much advance this is). See: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit_2fNewMdi So, briefly, I permit myself to change the severity of this bug from normal to wishlist. I indeed wish that adding a word in one editor's dictionary, an other editor's dictionary would find it too (for the same language). it.

2008-11-01 02:05:32 Chris Cheney title [Ubuntu] [hardy] Openoffice does not share "learned words" with GNOME [ooo-build] Openoffice does not share "learned words" with GNOME (libenchant)
2008-11-01 02:25:01 Chris Cheney description Description: A word "learned" in GNOME during a spellcheck is not automatically ignored in Openoffice.org and vice versea. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start gedit (by going to Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor). 2. Type in Sitsofe 3. Go to Tools -> Autocheck Spelling 4. Notice how Sitsofe is underlined in red. Press the right mouse button over it. 5. Go to Spelling Suggestions... -> Add . The red underline should disappear. 6. Close gedit (if a dialog pops up asking if you wish to save changes say Close without Saving). 7. Repeat steps 1 - 3. This time Sitsofe should not be underlined in red. Close gedit again. 8. Start oowriter (Office -> OpenOffice.org2 Writer). 9. Once it is started, type Sitsofe . If it is not selected, push the button ABC with the red underline. Expected Results: Sitsofe not to be underlined in red. Actual Results: Sitsofe is underlined in red. Additional information: I do not mind too much that OOo and GNOME use separate dictionaries for looking typical words but it is a crying shame that words added to either dictionary are not automatically picked up by the other program. I just hope GNOME and KDE share their added words... This would probably require porting OOo to libenchant, I have asked about it on dev@lists.go-oo.org. === Description: A word "learned" in GNOME during a spellcheck is not automatically ignored in Openoffice.org and vice versea.
