GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 599569
Adding words in the dictionary
Last modified: 2019-03-23 20:47:48 UTC
Hello, it is still possible to add a word in the dictionary when correcting a file but these added words are lost when closing the file or moving to another file.
I can reproduce this with gedit 2.28.0 on Fedora 12. Selecting 'Spelling Suggestions' > 'Add' from a context menu or 'Add word' from the spelling check dialog fails to have a permanent effect.
What version of enchant is installed? You can determine this using your package manager, or something like 'enchant --version' or 'pkg-config --modversion enchant'. Thanks.
I can reproduce the bug. Here is the enchant version [paolo@murdock ~]$ enchant -v @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Enchant 1.5.0) [paolo@murdock ~]$ pkg-config --modversion enchant 1.5.0 paolo@murdock ~]$ yum list *spell* gtkspell.x86_64 2.0.16-1.fc12 @updates-testing hunspell.x86_64 1.2.8-13.fc12 @updates hunspell-devel.x86_64 1.2.8-13.fc12 @updates hunspell-en.noarch 0.20090216-7.fc12 @fedora hunspell-it.noarch 2.4-0.3.20070901.fc12 @fedora
I'm fairly sure that I have the same version of enchant installed. [antiaircraft@aa-laptop ~]$ enchant -v @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Enchant 1.5.0) [antiaircraft@aa-laptop ~]$ rpm -q enchant enchant-1.5.0-3.fc12.i686 [antiaircraft@aa-laptop ~]$ yum list installed *spell* Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Installed Packages gtkspell.i686 2.0.16-1.fc12 @updates hunspell.i686 1.2.8-13.fc12 @updates hunspell-en.noarch 0.20090216-7.fc12 @fedora
It seems like this issue is AbiWord bug 12350[1], which was causing dictionary files to be truncated upon opening. The bug was fixed in Enchant 1.6.0[2] (which was recently pushed to the Fedora update repos). I can confirm that updating Enchant fixes this bug. :) [1] http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12350 [2] http://abisource.com/projects/enchant/
Then I'm going to change this as NOTGNOME. Thanks for testing.
