Public bug reported:
Today, I was working on a document that needed automatic hyphenation.
But I noticed that it wasn't hyphenating. So I went to Tools > Language
> Hyphenation. I got the following error dialog:
--------------
executing the hyphenation.:
English (USA) is not supported by the spellcheck function or is not presently
active.
Please check your installation and, if necessary, install the required language
module
or activate it under 'Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids'.
--------------
Now, this is a US English system, so the US English hyphenator should
have been installed by default. First, I checked the settings as
recommended by the error dialog. Everything was checked. I checked to
see what was installed on my system and found openoffice.org-
hyphenation. However, for some reason that packages contains en_GB and
en_CA but not en_US. So, I installed openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us
(why wasn't that installed by default?). Now, that same error pops up
the first time I manually run hyphenation. After I dismiss the dialog, I
get another dialog that says "Hyphenation completed," which is false. No
hyphenation has taken place. Currently, the error dialog only appears
the first time I run hyphenation manually after starting OOo. I even
have to kill the quickstarter to get the error back.
Obviously, hyphenation should work automatically without any
configuration or installing any additional packages. The weird thing is
that it works on my other machines. The only difference I can think of
is that this is a fresh install of Hardy on this machine (though I
brought most of my home dir across). One other machine has been upgraded
from Dapper, through all the intermediate releases to Hardy. My old
laptop (now dead) was upgraded successively from Feisty to Hardy.
Neither of those machines have hyphenation trouble.
