Description Harish Krishnaswamy 2006-04-24 00:27:52 UTC 
Spelling check announces " No wrongly written word found " if no dictionary is available installed. This is incorrect. The application needs to say that it cannot find any dictionaries installed and possibly guide the user how to get one.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-04-24 07:50:07 UTC 
fixing typo
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:37:12 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2012-03-30 18:07:04 UTC 
"Edit > Check Spelling..." in 3.5.1-pre does not do anything when no dictionaries are installed.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2012-12-04 15:22:54 UTC 
"Edit > Check Spelling..." should be hidden from the menu when no dictionaries are installed.  This would avoid the need for a "no dictionaries found" error message in the first place.

Tagging this evolution[webkit] so maybe Dan can pick this up as part of his webkit-composer branch.  Should be easy.
