I have the "Russian Hunspell spellchecking dictionary" extension
installed (1.0.20131101), which says it's current. For English, I just
use the built-in dictionary, with a few terms I've added.
Under Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Spelling, the pull-down list
offers:
English/United States
Russian/Russian Federation
I choose "English/United States," but SeaMonkey regularly changes the
setting without notice or prompting to "Russian/Russian Federation." I
can tell because email composition windows suddenly flag everything as
misspelled, and input boxes in the browser do the same.
I could understand if it did this when I visited a Russian site or
displayed an email with Cyrillic content. But that's not what's
happening. It just does it randomly (AFAICT), for no apparent reason.
So I change it back to "English/United States," and after a little while
SM overrules my pref and sets it to "Russian/Russian Federation" again.
The interval is often only a few minutes, and usually less than an hour.
My language acceptance settings at Edit | Preferences | Browser |
Languages are:
English [en]
Russian [ru]
Korean [ko]
in that order.
Any idea what's happening, and how I can get the setting to stick until
and unless /I personally/ decide to change it? If it helps any, the pref
in about:config at spellchecker.dictionary is en-US by default, or ru-RU
(user set) when SM goes rogue. But this user never set it to ru-RU,
that's a figment of SM's imagination.
Paul, how often do you receive Russian e-mails?? Could it be that
something in the headers is causing SM to switch, permanently, to Russian??
Well, my business is Russian translation, so it's pretty common, and I
compose in Russian, too, which was the point of installing the Russian
dictionary. But the switch seems to have nothing to do with incoming
messages. For example, if I'm browsing the web on an unrelated topic,
it'll often just switch for no apparent reason. The other day, I was
editing English subtitles on a Korean drama at viki.com, and it
switched. There's no Russian content there, but all of a sudden all the
subtitles had wavy underlines because it was looking up English words in
the Russian dictionary.
If it were switching for some rational reason -- if it detected Russian
content, for example -- that would make sense. But it keeps
inconveniencing me by switching for no reason to a language I don't need
at the moment.
