Thanks to james_w on #ubuntu-bugs, the affected package has been found, it is libhunspell.
Steps to reproduce: * Install hunspell (apt-get install hunspell) * Put in a test file the word "eleve" * type in a terminal : ~$ hunspell -d fr test * result: hunspell suggest the exact same list of words as firefox or openoffice. "élève" is not in the list. I have just filled a bug report upstream. -- Desktop apps spell-check problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
