Yes, quite true, I alluded to that potential problem of a flurry of warnings. But what's also a really bad idea is a software design that claims to have compared two data sets and reports no issues when in fact it failed to do so because it cannot retrieve one of the two sets. Something needs to be done to try and address this, even if it's less than perfect. Another possibility would be to build a list of any dictionaries the document requires at the time it's loaded and determine if any are unavailable, and if so, provide a single, concise warning. This wouldn't be perfect either, since someone could change to or add a different language while editing, but at least that would be an improvement and might reduce user confusion when the spell check silently fails to work. Or maybe there's a better idea entirely. I don't claim to have all the answers, I just think this merits attention. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997934 Title: [Upstream] Spell checking doesn't warn users if the selected dictionary isn't installed, but rather returns a potentially incorrect result Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This has been the case since Beta 2.

It should explicitly tell the user it can't proceed. There are many confused users encountering this issue, from what I've seen on many forum postings and many bug reports that have been submitted here. LibreOffice should check for the presence of the required dictionary before starting the spell check and provide a meaningful error message if it's not found. Instead the spell check runs and reports no issues were found, which is quite misleading. (The steps to reproduce are quite simple: just change the associated dictionary of selected text in a document to be any dictionary that isn't installed and run the spell check.) I'm surprised no one's filed a bug that points this out already, but I couldn't find anything in the bug list. My apologies if I missed something. Responses are typically that users should download the necessary dictionary separately, which is all well and good, but the software itself should be telling them it can't complete the action requested. There'd be fewer duplicate bug reports about missing dictionaries if this was the case.

Open new Writer document and change language to English (Australia) 2. Type something with an obvious spelling error in it 3. Run spellcheck Current behavior: The spellcheck will return no errors.

But as I only have learned British English in the past: Would you be so kind to attach a test document to this bug, please? You can reproduce the problem by creating a new document and typing some garbage. The spell checker can find no problem and it always reports Spell check complete. The spell checker behaves exactly the same when you change the document language to None as when you change it to English (Australian). I get color marked as wrong here. Could you confirm, that it is wrong in Australian English? Australian English is the same as British English (ignoring idioms). Color is the U.S. spelling. In Australia and the U.K. the spelling is colour. So one workaround is to switch the default language to English (U.K.) in settings. But changing the default may not help for documents already saved with language English (Australian).

(In reply to ofperkins83 from bug 76238 comment #5) This is absolutely right. I did not realise that the appropriate dictionary was not installed when the spellcheck is run with a language that has no spellcheck dictionary, I think it should return and say no dictionary installed rather than just spellcheck complete.

Actual Result: The spell check notifies the user of completion without any recognition of errors. Expected Result: The spell check should highlight each misspelled word and offer alternatives. A workaround for the time-being is to write your document in gedit, check spelling when complete and then paste it into libreoffice-writer afterwards for formatting.
