Spell checking fails back to default system language (again).

[ftpd]

Hi, I'm using 1.4b6 on Mac OS X 10.5.7. As some time ago, I'm now experiencing problem with remembering of my spellchecker preferences. I'm using CocoAspell and it works fine in other applications, problem seems to appear just in Adium (I'm using Safari to write that post and in it's settings I can my language selection I've set, but when changing focus to Adium, it still tells me, that checked language is English).

Problem is full reproductible, I've done little research and all my colleagues who are using Adium are experiencing this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Bartek 'ftpd' Stalewski

I'd like to confirm this as also happening for me, v1.4b6 OS X 10.5.7 As a test, I wrote some (Australian spelling) words into TextEdit and it accepted them as having the correct spelling, typed in the American English equivalents and it gave me the red squiggly line (aka, wrong spelling). Typed those into an Adium chat window and it said the Australian spelling versions were incorrect and the American versions were correct.

Note: I don't know when this started happening, as I normally just ignore the grammar and spelling suggestions in Adium, but it finally bugged me enough to sign up for the tracker... :)

Ticket #12601 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket.

Are you able to remember whether this already happened with 1.3.x?

[ftpd]

I'm _sure_ this already happened, and I'm _almost_ sure it was with 1.3.x (for sure before 1.4, but maybe in 1.2.x line?). There was a build (or a few, like 2-3, builds) with this issue, but then I haven't created any ticket or sth, just waited and in one build problem was solved.

[Robby]

Yeah, #10752 was meant to fix this. Hm...

[ftpd]

Yeah, it _was_ fixed, but now (since 3 builds, afair) it's broken again.

Have you set the spelling preference in Adium previously? Adium tracks this separately, to allow per-contact spelling preferences, so changing your language can result in a seeming loss of synchronization even though Adium is, in general, doing the right thing.

[ftpd]

Nope, I've never touched spelling preferences in Adium. I've used Leopard with CocoAspell at first and now I have Snow Leopard with polish spellchecking included, so I've set it system-wide in System Preferences. It works in any application beside Adium.

Edit > Spelling > Show Spelling and Grammar for your contacts.

What language is selected for the user that the language isn't working for?

What is your global preference?

It's likely that the CocoAspell operated by setting the spelling and grammar for every window of yours that it opened to the particular one. This would cause Adium to save that spelling preference for the users in question. Changing it to Polish for your contacts should fix it.

Actually, I can reproduce some annoying problems, but I don't see why; I can follow the code and it's setting the language as expected but the spell check doesn't update.

(In  4f51d10a2af5) Clean up the per-contact spelling a little. I think this fixes #12359.

This uses new, proper "language-grabbing" methods from the spell checker, as well as properly saves the spelling if the spelling was changed and the window was immediately closed. In this case, it would end up saving the wrong value.
