Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17675
Missing dictionaries
Last modified: 2004-03-24 14:00:43 UTC
I have the Sun, standard, personal, soffice and IgnoreAll dictionaries marked, however, when running spellcheck, where I used to have both the standard and personal dictionaries as a choice to add words to, I now have only the standard dictionary. Expected, I should not have lost the personal dictionary as a location for added words. (Option was there in all previous versions but removed in 1.1RC2).
I am attaching the choice in dictionaries I have made in all versions of OOo, the choices through spellcheck in 1.0.3.1 and the choices in RC2. It illustrates the vanishing personal.dic file.
Created attachment 8248 [details] Dictionary Choices in all versions of OOo (for me)
Created attachment 8249 [details] Minimum options under 1.0.3.1 and RC1 (older versions had all dictioanries)
Created attachment 8250 [details] Options shown in RC2
From a suggestion on the user's list, I checked and found that personal.dic was marked as root:root. I checked my 1.0.1 and 1.0.3.1 installations and found that they were properly installed as rbe:users instead of root:root. The bug needs a new location, I guess. OOo should NOT set a custom added dictionary to root ownership, but to user ownership.
Problem does not exist in RC3.
