A Dell Inspirion 1520 and an EeePC 1000H. Since installing 12.04 the keyboard shortcut for spell check (Shift+F7) no longer works on either machine. Release 12.04 (precise) 32-bit Gedit: 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 When I pressed Shift_F7 I expected the spell check window to appear and offer choices for misspelled words or tell me that there are no misspelled words. Nothing seems to happen at all.
