As for the existing en-UK dictionaries that are not part of the choice list in
the dictionary wizard I submitted issue 88673.
That restricts the problem for this issue to update problems when changing to
newer versions of OOo.
Since it looks like you used the "Add" command in either the context menu for
misspelled words or in the spell check dialog our specific problem here is NOT
about pre-installed or downloaded dictionaries though. It is about what happens
to the user-defined dictionaries at upgrade.
I'm not sure what the actual implementation does in respect to those.
I would suspect dictionaries to be created by the user are left untouched (at
least they should) and they should also be imported from existing installations
if you check the respective options when doing a full installation.
For upgrading by patching nothing should happen to them as well.
However the above may very well not be true for the pre-installed dictionaries
SUN.dic and soffice.dic.
The standard.dic is creating during runtime and thus should not be handled
different at all to dictionaries created by the user.
TL->SBA: Can you please check what happens to user defined dictionaries when
upgrading? Namely Sun.dic and soffice.dic as well if those got modified by the
user. And use one new created dictionary as well.
Also please verify that in current versions (after integration of tl41) SUN.dic
and soffice.dic can't be edited by the user via UI. Because that should not have
been possible in the first place. (I'm aware that it was possible though)
Please take over! Thanks!
TL->english_fred:
As mentioned above the already existing dictionaries SUN.dic and soffice.dic are
unluckily a bad choice to add new words to and expect them to 'survive' an
upgrade.
If you like to make a large list of your own words you should create a new
user-dictionary. That can be done in Tools/options/Language Settings - Writing
Aids in the box named 'User-defined directories'. Click on the new button next
to it and follow the small dialog (namely choose a language the words belong
to). And when you have created and edited your dictionary don't forget to check
the box left to it's name to have it being used by the spell checker.
For more info look in the online-help pages.
And later on when you edit you document and want to add a new word you need to
add it to that very dictionary you created before (not SUN.dic or soffice.dic).
