Title:
gedit doesn't handle apostrophes correctly when spell-checking
Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
Confirmed
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Open gedit, type in "wouldn't" without the quotes, and either enable Autocheck
spelling (Tools menu) or use Check Spelling to open the dialogue. Gedit
suggests
replacing the "wouldn" part with "wouldn't", which is performed, would yield
"wouldn't't". Also works with "doesn't", "couldn't", "shouldn't" etc. and
anything where the contracted form adds letters to the original word, i.e.
"should not" becomes "shouldn't". Obviously "shouldn" isn't a word... but you
know what I'm getting at :) Apostrophes seem to be considered as the end of a
word, like whitespace.
