True. But please note that Ubuntu currently makes the languages available on an all or nothing basis. If you don't want to install (certain) German language support packages, don't install German in the first place. ;-) Admittedly this means that you are forced to install certain packages that you don't use. OTOH, everyone's computers contain a lot of such packages, right? Today, with the huge space that hard disks provide, it's typically not a problem in practice. > Update: It's not driver related. It's some kind of randomness. And the randomness would make the issue pretty difficult to track down, I suppose. For that reason, and since it's not present in Quantal and Raring, I for one am disinclined to spend more time on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103547 Title: drag and drop does not work language support not complete Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “language-selector” source package in Precise: In Progress Bug description: Nomination of the fix of this bug for a Precise SRU --------------------------------------------------- [Impact] Users who have the enhanced "frami" version of the German hunspell dictionary installed are incorrectly prompted to install the conflicting standard version each time they launch language-selector. Philipp Gassmann: "I also think that this fix should be backported to precise because of its usage in enterprises, where multiple locales are more common and the preferences of users diverse." [Regression Potential] The fix does two things: 1. Prevents the incorrect prompts. 2. Makes the check for incomplete language support cover all the installed languages, and not only the current system language (which is considered a fix of a related not reported bug). The risk for regression is low. Original description -------------------- After dismissing the notification, that language-support is incomplete, drag and drop of the available languages does not work. Workaround: 1. Press Ctrl and Drag something > Does not change order. 2. Release Ctrl. > Drag and drop ordering works. Related Problem: The "frami" versions of the German hunspell packs are not recognised as a replacement for the default hunspell. (e.g. hunspell-de-ch-frami is enhanced variant of hunspell-de-ch) So every time gnome-language-selector is started, it asks to install hunspell-de-ch which conflicts without any notice!
