Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15194
Thesaurus doesn't work until Spell is accessed
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
n OOo 1.1Beta2, the Thesaurus is blanked out and not accessible to the user until spell check is run at least once, then it becomes accessible. Expect Behavior: Thesaurus is accessible at start of program Actual Behavior: Thesaurus is only accessible after spell check is accessed Additional information: This doesn't occur in 1.0.3
Hi, I am adding myself to CC on this one because this may be a lingucomponent issue. Can you please check what Tools->Options->languageSettings->WritingAids shows upon first startup. Is the OOo Thesaurus service checkbox checked? Thanks, Kevin
Kevin, Sorry I haven't written sooner. OOo Thesaurus service checkbox is unchecked. When checked, the Thesaurus becomes available without having to use spell check first. This option isn't saving for me, I have to recheck it everytime I start the program. I'd prefer to have it default to being on. (Added Note: once in about ten restarts, the Thesaurus service was available on startup - random issue?)
I can confirm Max's reports. The Thesarus doesn't show up until you do a spellcheck. Clicking the checkbox Kevin mentioned doesn't do anything -- its value is not saved across runs.
Reassigned to MRU
Hi, I believe this is related to Issue 15362. Will the bug reporter try the workaround listed in that issue and see if his trouble goes away? If so, this one is already fixed in OOo 1.1 RC and we can close this. Thanks, Kevin
Yes, it strongly looks like the problem #15362. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 15362 ***
For what it is worth, yes, changing the configuration file in Issue 15362 seems to solve the problem.
I'm not sure the fix fixed the entire underlying problem, see issue 16103.
issue 16103 is a different issue that also appeared in a different way in 1.0.3. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 15362 ***
Closed as duplicate.
