Steps to reproduce:

Entered multiple words using a typographic long s ( ſ ) and then engaged the spell checker to determine if the words had correct spelling

Actual results:

Long s ſ was not recognized as equivalent to a short-s or s, with the relevant word being flagged as mis-spelt, despite confirming they were by an external printed dictionary

Expected results:

Long s ſ should (ideally) have been recognized as equivalent to short s ( and any defined alias thereof).

(Aside: Provision of an English (archaic usage) or Scots dictionary would be useful)

Severity: normal → S3
