Jathish: Please specify exactly what build/version you are using when
you file a bug.

gnome-bugs@wipro: please coordinate your testing efforts a bit better.
Venkat has now filed this bug /twice/ ( bug 72822 and bug 72513 ) and
it has now been filed a third time. This is the third bug in two days
that I've seen that you've now filed at least three times.

I'm needinfo'ing this bug on the assumption that this is an old
version and has been fixed; please provide more information or close
the bug, Jathish.
Comment 2 Jathish 2002-04-02 12:12:19 UTC 
This problem was fixed previously but again visible on Solaris 9
(Sparc-64bit), Solaris 9(Sparc-32bit) and Solaris 8 (Intel-32bit) 
which are running latest Gnome 2.0 taken on 29/03/2002 from CVS.
However this problem is not visible on RedHat Linux 7.1 version.
Hence, reopening this bug. 

Also, the bug mentioned in the previous add. info 72822 deals with 
problem when the word not in the dictionary is given for lookup. In 
this case there is no problem in connecting with remote server.

Yargh. Fairly major. :/ Wipro, this is your bug- someone should be
assigned to fix it unless mark has access to solaris hardware.
Comment 4 venkat 2002-04-17 06:31:58 UTC 
The same result is happening,  if i specify the ip address of the 
remote machine in  which no dict server is running or an invalid 
server is specified. In Linux, the problem is not happening. version -
 1.102.0

Comment 6 Senthilkumar Ramasamy 2002-04-18 14:51:53 UTC 
I can simulate this problem only when remote server is not running
& gnome-dictionary is configured for that remote server.
When opening the preference dialog, it is hanging.
This is fixed in this patch, please check this & close the bug.
Comment 7 Luis Villa 2002-04-18 19:23:35 UTC 
Added patch keywords.
Comment 8 Kevin Vandersloot 2002-04-19 00:25:46 UTC 
Applied. Thanks so much Senthilkumar :)

I'm gonna close the bug since Senthilkumar indicates that it is fixed.
Comment 9 Jathish 2002-07-10 10:13:13 UTC 
Tested on July 4th sources with Bugzilla and Sun patches. The bug is
not reproducible. Closing the bug
