Newly created user-defined dictionaries are read-only
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:07 UTC
Seen in DEV300_m83 (Version flag not available yet) - Tools - Options - Language settings - Writing Aids - Click "NEW" (User-defined dicts) - Set any name and set language to EN_US - Activate it by its check box - Click OK to close Dialog - Have an EN_US Text with an error in Writer - Enable AutoSpellcheck - Hover ofer that red wavy underlined word - In Context menu (right Mouse click), Add to new dict -> Message Box "Dict is read-only"
This was OK in OOo 3.2.1. Set keyword "regression" and Target OOo 3.3.

It works with old user-dictonarys, which were created with OOo 3.2
[DEV300_m83 on WinXP] I can confirm the error message "Dict is read-only"; after a restart of OOo "add to dic" via context menu will "work". - Install the English, French and German language modules (Extension Manager) - Open Writer (1) - create and enable a user-defined dictionary ccc.dic [language en-US] in Tools > Options > … > User-defined Dictionaries > New - restart OOo - type a misspelled word (language en-US) and add it to ccc.dic via context menu, e.g.: follks - open ccc.dic in Tools > Options > … > User-defined Dictionaries > Edit - you'll find the entry (follks) in ccc.dic (2) - create and enable a user-defined dictionary bbb.dic [language fr-FR] - restart OOo - type a misspelled word (language fr-FR) and add it to bbb.dic via context menu, e.g.: meccs - type a misspelled word (language en-US) and try to add it to ccc.dic via context menu, e.g.: honney - open bbb.dic in Tools > Options > … > User-defined Dictionaries > Edit - you'll find both added entries (meccs, honney) in bbb.dic - create and enable a user-defined dictionary aaa.dic [language de-DE] - restart OOo (3) - type a misspelled word (language de-DE) and add it to aaa.dic via context menu, e.g.: maussen - type a misspelled word (language fr-FR) and add it to bbb.dic via context menu, e.g.: moissemodelle - type a misspelled word (language en-US) and try to add it to ccc.dic via context menu, e.g.: corrubt - you'll find the three added entries (maussen, moissemodelle, corrubt) in aaa.dic All words, which are added to a user-defined dictionary via context menu are added to the first dictionary in alphabetic order, and remain redlined if this dictionary doesn't match the text language. (Adding the words via F7 works fine.)
ooops--the wrong issue--should be issue 112179 (I will add the comment there ...)
