It’s maybe because no dictionaries are installed." In the poedit snap that uses GtkSpell and Enchant to implement the spellchecking we patched the iso-codes prefix and packs all the spellchecking dictionaries to solve the issue: https://github.com/vslavik/poedit/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml Also, I've packaged a Hunspell content snap that provides the dictionaries: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/the-hunspell-dictionaries-content-snap/7160 ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: snap ** Tags added: snap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797779 Title: [snap] Spellchecking appears to be not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1797779/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
