This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation, not to your local site managers! Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: When running flyspell-buffer on a LaTeX buffer that has German umlauts in it (using dictionary german8), it ignores any words with umlauts, i. e. it won't complain for wrong words and not for correct words either. Instead, the *Messages* contains "word not found" messages for parts of these words. When setting `flyspell-large-region' to nil, it works perfectly (but much slower). So the problem has to be in the flyspell-large-region function. Indeed, this function calls `call-process-region' to feed the buffer to ispell. When replacing ispell by a small program that dumps stdin to a file, German umlauts look "funny" in there, e. g. a "ΓΌ" is encoded as two bytes 0x81 0xFC. So I think it is a coding system problem After some more experiments I found a "solution". This simple patch (which is of course not a proper fix since latin-1 is not appropriate for the whole world) makes it work as I think it should. =====cut here===== --- flyspell.el.orig 2006-03-24 14:28:36.000000000 +0100 +++ flyspell.el 2006-03-24 14:29:40.000000000 +0100 @@ -1431,6 +1431,7 @@ (if flyspell-issue-message-flag (message "Checking region..."))
