I can confirm Stephan's observation. (Kile Version 2.0.85) And maybe I can contribute with two other observations of mine.
(1) When encountering the issue, changing the dictionary from "English (UK)" to "English (US)" fixes the problem. Reverting to the UK dictionary brings back the problem, the only solution being, eventually, closing the files and restarting Kile. (2) This happens when opening a Kile project file previously saved on another machine (same Kile version though). me@machine1:~$ kile --version Qt: 4.7.0 KDE Development Platform: 4.5.3 (KDE 4.5.3) Kile: 2.0.85 me@machine2:~$ kile --version Qt: 4.7.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.6.2 (4.6.2) Kile: 2.0.85 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669915 Title: Spellcheck does not recognise uppercase words at beginning of sentence To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kile/+bug/669915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
