Public bug reported:
Neither automatic nor manual spellcheck work in english with the default
package install of kate.
I ran xubuntu 16.04 alpha from the xenial-desktop-amd64.iso file
downloaded from http today.
I installed kate using the gui package manager.
I opened kate and typed nonsense into it.
I went to the menu Tools> Spelling> Automatic Spell Checking and
activated it.
none of the nonsense was marked as misspelled.
Next I went to Tools> Spelling> Spelling... and ran a spellcheck. it
marked everything as OK.
I expected gibberish to be marked as misspelled.
