Bug Description

Binary package hint: lyx

If you press F7, click the toolbar button, or go through the menu nothing happens. By nothing, I mean it puts a message in the status bar saying it's going to open the spell checker dialogue. However that is all, no dialogue actually opens.

In the prefs I'm using aspell with en_GB as the alternative language. If I change it to ispell (not installed) I get an error, so it is trying something. If I remove the alternative language, there is no change in symptoms.

Architecture: i386
Version: 1.5.6-0ubuntu1

I can confirm this in Ubuntu 9.04 too with LyX 1.6.2.
The spellchecker (german) behaves strangely and basically isn't working.
I'm going to investigate this further.

I'm using LyX 1.6.4 in Mint 8 Helena, and mine got 25% through the document, then popped up an error that said, "The spellchecker has failed. No word lists can be found for the language de_DE."

My default (and only) language is set for English.

This error occurred after running the abovementioned quarter of the document and adding a number of terms to the dictionary, though a number of terms did not add but instead kept coming up as misspellings.

As the bug is very old and we're alt LyX >2.0 this bug should be closed.
Anyway it's working now.
