RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1175908

People

(Reporter: jaredn, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150605133456

Steps to reproduce:

I upgraded from thunderbird-31.6.0-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm to thunderbird-38.0.1-2.fc22.fc22.x86_64.rpm.


Actual results:

Spell checker (both inline and run seperatly) stopped working. No spelling errors are every identified. I downgraded back to 31.6.0-1 and it works again.


Expected results:

It should work as normal.
Most likely a duplicate of bug 1175908. This is Linux, so here the dictionary names changed from xx_XX to xx-XX, see bug 1097550.
Set the language in Options > Composition, Spelling again.
Make sure a spelling language is selected.
If this fails, post pictures of the language selector of the mail compose window and the full spell check window.

Note: Spell checking in TB 38.0.1 does work (and better than before), but there were a few problems which are fixed in TB 38.1 (to be released soon).
There was a spelling language selected (English/Antigua and Barbuda) I changed it to English/United States and now my spell checker works perfectly. Thanks!
If you can still go back to "English/Antigua and Barbuda" you will find that it will work, too.
