Description gonzo 2002-05-18 01:06:06 UTC 
At least in spanish, the curly red underline used for spell checking mistakes final words in a 
sentence, checking the word plus the period. That is, instead of checking a final "word". it 
checks a "word." including the period, and underlines it.

Upon left clicking on it to get 
suggestions, the same word is suggested (it is correct), if you select it for substitution, it is 
left untouched. Seems the "replacer" considers the final period, but the "checker" does 
not.

Thanks.

Hi, 
 
This is my issue (lingucomponent). 
 
Under OOo 1.0.0 this was fixed and it should not be rporting this 
anymore.  You are not by any chance using the ("replacement") dll 
that comes with Spanish Spellchecker are you?  It should NOT be used 
for OOo 641d and later (including OOo 1.0.0!).  If youa re using it 
please don't. 
 
Your spellcheck problems with a period at the end should go away. 
 
Hope this helps, 
 
Kevin

Uhmm... I did have the "replacement". Placed back the original and that 
problem is 
solved but a new one popped:

In spanish both question and exclamation marks have 
an opening symbol,
not just a closing one like in english. That is, you have 
"¡Eureka!"
instead of "Eureka!"  (Or "¿huh?" instead of "huh?").

Well, the 
same problem I described for the final periods happens for
opening question and 
exclamation marks.

 GV

Hi, 
 
The punctuation issue is really a breakiterator.cxx issue and not 
something that should be handled in the spellchecker itself. 
 
I am changing this to started and adding Thomas Lange as CC to this 
one just so that he is aware of the double punctuation issue.

TL: This problem and allmost all other problems with the i18n 
(breakiterator, etc.) should be fixed in the next build based on an 
642 source because of the use of the enhanced i18n.
Comment 5 thomas.lange 2002-06-03 08:49:05 UTC 
TL: according to the above mentioned I set this one to fixed.

Hi Thomas, 
 
Since OOo 1.0.1 will be based on 641 source, I have added a 
workaround in myspell for OOO_STABLE_1 so this should not be a 
problem for the next release and will remove  the workaround for 642 
based builds. 
 
Thanks!
