[Notes2] Spellchecking: setting the language does not work at all (selected text / paragraph / all text)

[Issue data has been copied from the collection of issues in #85870] SETTING THE LANGUAGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL (SELECTED TEXT / PARAGRAPH / ALL TEXT) The following problem has been found in the build “edgy-jdk-2474-notes2â€. Writer provides several ways to change the language of a portion of text or the complete document: the menu “Tools – Options – Language Settings – Languages: Default languages for documents†the application menu “Tools – Language – For Selection OR For Paragraph OR For all Text†the status bar by using the context menu. No one of these options do work in the Notes. Steps to reproduce (languages are just examples): 1.Create a document and enter some German words (make sure that the document language is still English) 2.Create a Note and enter some German words 3.Change the document language by: “Tools - Language – For all Text: German (Germany)†Expected result: The automatic spellcheck marks do disappear because the correct language is now set properly. Current result: Nothing happens and the spellchecking marks will remain in BOTH Notes Windows and document text. 4.Move the focus to the document text 5.Change the document language by: “Tools - Language – For all Text: German (Germany)†Expected result: The automatic spellcheck marks do disappear because the correct language is now set properly for all elements. Current result: The automatic spellcheck marks dissappear in the document text, BUT nothing happens in the Notes Windows. There, the language is not changed. PLEASE NOTE: It has NOT yet decided by the iTeam how to handle language settings which refer to the whole document. The following behavior are just rough ideas: 1.If the user wants to change the language setting for the whole document, then the Notes should respect this setting like the document text does (change of language setting: e.g. “Default languages for documents†or “For all Textâ€). [Open Questions: Does this interfere with the specification to adapt the formatting of time and date of the Note Property Data according to the system language? Can we make sure that the user really wants to use the same language in the text?] 2.If the user changes the setting for the document or the whole text, then only the setting for the normal document text changes. The language setting for the Note Windows is inherited from the OpenOffice.org language setting. In general, the user will be able to change the language in the Notes Windows; but only for one Note Window, paragraphs or selections. Please contact the iTeam which behavior should be implemented.
confirm
fixed in notes5 when setting new language for complete document and therefore also for all notes, black rectangles over the notes are still left, see issue 89862, refreshing the window solves this
setting language is now possible using new language toolbar, Format-Character or Tools-Language @mba: as discussed with es, please verify in notes6
verified in cws notes6
