Description Unknown 2002-05-03 19:36:53 UTC 
When I added a 'user defined dictonary' with the same name as an excisting dic.
like en_US, soffice crashed. The crash happens when the document is empty and
the autmatic spelling controle is turned on. When you type a word that is not in
the dic., soffice tries to save the document and crashes. When there is already
a word in the document which does not excist in the dic, then soffice will crash
when you try to add the word to a dic. using right-click.
I hope this is clear.
The defect is present at least in OpenOffice1.0 and OpenOffice641D

 Hi,  
  
Adding myself to the cc on this.  Yes, when you created an en_US.dic  
(by starting your own user dictioanry) you actually overwrote the 
real MySpell dictionary of the same name causing a crash.  
  
Simply go and get the latest version of the en_US MySpell dictionary  
from: 
 
http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/download_dictionary.html  
  
and follow the instructions on the website to effectively replace  
the en_US.dic file with the copy of the original.  
  
I will see if there are any way to change permission on the  
en_US.aff and en_US.dic files to  prevent the user from being 
allowed to inadvertently overwrite the needed files.   
 
I change this priority to be lower since there is an  easy 
workaround to get you going again and I will try to see if this can 
be fixed for the next release. 
 
Thanks, 
 
Kevin
