As issue 66332 has been closed as a duplicate, it is my opinion that this issue
therefore be relabelled as a defect or at least given a target. I have read
through the spellcheck specification as posted at
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/index.html. There is no specific
specification written for what happens when a user chooses a language with no
dictionary. The closest thing I can find is a line which says: "Language
attribute [None] in the character attributes dialog suppresses hyphenation,
thesaurus and spelling." The corresponding illustration displays setting the
language to "None" rather than to a language without a dictionary.

The implication is that setting to an actual language should not suppress
spellchecking, or if there is no dictionary, a warning should occur. (Probably
this should be explicitely added to the specification.)

Given that OOo used to display an error or warning in the situation in question
(at least according to the other issues referenced) and that this bug can cause
severe confusion and user annoyance, in my opinion this should be classified as
a defect.

Also, this should in my opinion be a P3, because it is a situation where "the
user interface for a common functionality is confusing."
