1777853 - Cannot remove English (United States) from spellcheck menu

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Spelling checker, defect)

Description

[nick]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0

Steps to reproduce:

Install Firefox in Ubuntu from Snap. Install English (United Kingdom) and French dictionaries, remove English (United States). Enable spellcheck, type something badly then right click over misspelling to correct.

Actual results:

All three languages are present and can be selected to choose a dictionary, including US which has been deleted.

Expected results:

I would not expect to see English (United States) as a menu option, given that it had been deleted.

I recognise that this is a feature of having installed the US version, but given that I am installing from a Snap over which I have no control and that the option to delete the US language is available in the settings menu, I believe that this is at the least a GUI bug.

Finally, I recognise that for someone that only wants to check in one language, this is not a big issue - I would install and select my language in the menu and forget about it. However, for multiple language users, where you are constantly changing the spellcheck language, this is a problem.
