Description Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle 2009-09-27 05:21:44 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #596486 +++

For some vocabularies and/or languages, the hyphen should be considered part of
the word, so that the spell checker plugin passes the whole word (and not each
of the sides of the hyphen) to Enchant.

Aspell, and recently Hunspell vocabularies can set the hyphen as a word
character. In Bug #383706, Dominic Lachowicz says ICU should be used to
determine how to split text in words.

Ping.

GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
