Hi, 
 
As far as I can tell this is not under the control of the lingucomponent project. 
So I am changing this to the Writer project so that someone from Hamburg sees it 
and can figure out whose problem this really is.

I use Win2K and have the same problem.
I must add that it also does not save the selected language (Options
-> Language settings -> Languages >-> Default language for documents.
Here I set "Italian" (yes, "For the current document only" is
unchecked) but when I reload the program, English (default) is set again.
I've solved it replacing linguistic.xcu with the one I had under 1.02,
so now I've Italian and Auto Spellcheck set AND now if I change it (or
the language) the change remains (consider this as a workaround)!
(\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Linguistic.xcu)
I've checked and the "original" file is *not* read only.
The only difference I've found in the two files are that in 1.1b2
items have a lot more of 
"op="replace""
in various items, like in:
<prop oor:name="it-IT" oor:op="replace" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>org.openoffice.lingu.LibHnjHyphenator</value>

also
node oor:name="SpellChecking"
and
node oor:name="General"
are in different order in 1.1b2, but I can't understand if maybe in
wrong level of indentation

Reassigned to MRU

The Dutch 1.1 beta 2 for Windows has this problem as well.

English:
I have a new workaround for this issue. As Marco Menardi already said, 
it
helps to replace the linguistc.xcu in the user subdir, with an older 
one.
But it can be much easier. Just delete the "linguistic.xcu" in the
"share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office" tree. Now start writer,
configure the Spellcheck and Language Options, and they will remain.
If you want, you can now also copy the "linguistic.xcu" from
"user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office" into
"share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office". I don't know what this 
file in
the share subdir does, I just know that it makes troubles for many 
times
now...
REMEBER: This is a workaround. I don't know if there are any side 
effects,
but I didn't recognize one so far.

German:
Zu dem Thema hab ich einen neuen Workaround. Wie Marco Menardi schon
vorgeschlagen hat, hilft es die linguistic.xcu einer älteren Version 
zu
verwenden. Es geht aber noch viel einfacher, nämlich die besagte Datei 
im
Unterverzeichnis "share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office" einfach
löschen. Wer will, kann (Nachdem man OO gestartet, konfiguriert und 
wieder
abgedreht hat) jetzt auch die Linguistic.xcu aus dem Unterverzeichnis
"user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office" in den anderen Zweig 
hinüber
kopieren. Keine Ahnung was das löschen der Linguistic.xcu für 
Nebenwirkungen
hat, bei mir bis jetzt noch keine. Die Version im "user" Zweig legt 
sich
ohnehin von selbst neu an.

PS: Also diese Linguistic.xcu macht scheinbar öfter Probleme. Schon 
bei
früheren Developer Versionen hat nur das löschen dieser Datei 
geholfen, um
die Rechtschreibprüfung dauerhaft zu aktivieren. Würde echt mal gerne
wissen, wozu die Datei überhaupt gut ist, außer Probleme zu bereiten ;
-)

MRU->TL: This only happens in OpenOffice. Seems that all the Writeng
Aids settings are not persistent there anymore...

Target set to OOo 1.1 RC since this one will get foxed alonmg with
#15362#.

TL->Kevin: To you since it depends on the fixed setup entry.

Hi, 
 
My bug in scp was fixed yesterday with another change so we should 
be good to here and so I am resolving this as fixed. 
 
Please verify in the next OOo 1.1 based release. 

verfied in 1.1.0.
