Spell Check - Report Bug

How do I report a bug for spell check? I noticed if a word is spelled incorrectly Captivate 6.0 does not flag it as a misspelled word if the first letter. I noticed when I had Administrator and Financial misspelled it did not catch the typo. I noticed it when I exported it to Word.
thanks

Apex 3.2 Spell Check Bug?

I have a text area with spell check that holds 4000 characters. The spell check works well until approx 3800 characters are entered into the field. At that point in time the spell check brings up a page can't be displayed popup. Ideas?

blarman,
I was going to ask you to reproduce this on apex.oracle.com, but of course, you cannot. The images directory on apex.oracle.com has been recursively copied into numerous times. The problem you're reporting is only in the context of a new installation.
I've confirmed the bug. It's too late for the forthcoming APEX 3.2.1 patch set, but I do have this now fixed for APEX 4.0.
Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. I appreciate it.

Firefox 14.0.1 has a spell checking error./ bug in the code

I just had all my machines update to 14.0.1 (WIN XP SP3)
I had a clean boot right before the update occurred.
This is the first time I had used this version on this machine.
When the program came up, I had no access to the spell checker at all. Nothing I did could change this (checking and un-checking the feature in the right click menu.
So, I selected the option of restarting the browser in "SAFE MODE" with no add-ons. There was no change at all (still no spell checking)
So, I went to this site, made an account, activated the count (this entire time FIREFOX had no spell checking) and I created a report.
I was most of the way done writing the report when suddenly the spell checking started to work. I made no changes to the settings, when suddenly I had spell checking working.
This means there is an intermittent error;p often the hardest to find from my 20+ years of programming experience (Senior IT contractor)..
So, have find finding this one. Intermittent bugs are the hardest to track, and tend to come from issues like scope issues, settings stored in files/registry, overly convoluted code (like a rush job that isn't fully understood & was just hammered on until it seemed to work). From my experience it often happens in the last steps of finishing a release - accidentally introducing a bug into what was a working section of code (unexpected ramification are a suspect) into a previously working program piece of a program.

Hi BarleySinger and thanks for reporting us this issue.
Yes. Intermitent bugs are really difficult to track and solve, so please try to do this things:
* Try to reset Firefox so all settings that may be creating this problems will be removed.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
* Try to perform a antivirus scan on your computer so you check you have no malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
* Send us troubleshooting information.
In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting information'' from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy all to clipboard''. Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article [[Using the Troubleshooting Information page]].
Thanks in advance for your help!
* Check the issue is still reproducing intermitently, and it was not an isolated problem (Maybe Firefox was still preparing the spell checker).

Bug? Mailto: in combination with Office 2013 Spell Checking.

Dear community,
For one of our sollutions we use the mailto protocol to send a hyperlink which users can use to automatically open a predefined new-email-window.
This works fine with Office Professional Plus 2010 [EN-US] (32bit) in combinatione with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2010 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit).
However, Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] (32bit), in combination with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit), crashes whenever the spellingcheck is started.
The mailto-command we use to reproduce this problem is (enter command in Internet Explorer, open with Outlook):
mailto:[email protected]?subject=%20Actie%20vereist&body=%5b2103162%2f335159076094968874376260057075247208793%5d
During analyses we concluded:
- Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2 (Full Scan) did not find any related issues.
- Spellchecker crashes while checking the text within the body.
- Uninstalling Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands solves the problem, but obviosly, we want to keep the Dutch spelling check functionality.
- Standard Englsh (U.S.) spellchecking functions without problems.
- This problem is reproducable on any computer running Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] in combination with the Dutch (Nederlands) spelling check. Tried multiple hardware configurations (Intel based) and multiple OS's (Windows 7 Enterprise
(64bit), Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64bit), Windows 8.1 Pro (64bit). All with the same result.
Is there way to solve this issue, without loosing Outlook 2013 as client and Dutch Spelling Check capabilities?
Kind regards,
Leon Kandelaars.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reaction.
Q - Do you mean Outlook crashes when we click the Spelling & Grammar button under Review tab?
A - Yeah, if you try to edit the mail and have 'check spelling as you type' activated, it wil crash as well.
Q - If we copy the email body and paste it to a new email message, will this issue continue?
Does this   issue happen with other Office 2013 programs? Please try to use 'spell check' in word and check if the same issue occurs.
A - If you copy the generated body to a new email or Word 2013, the spelling check will in both cases crash the application.
Q - In addition, we can also have a look at the event log to see if we can find anything useful.
A - The crash generates an "Application" "Hang error". I've generated 2 (1 with Outlook, 1 with Word):

Spell checker bug

There is one spell checker bug:
When I end a paragraph with a full stop and then press enter then the red underlined mis-spelled words are "unmarked" as in the red zig-zag line underneath the mis-spelled words disappears and I cant correct them any more or lose track which words are mis-spelled.
The red zig-zag lines underneath the mis-spelled words should never disappear until the word is spelled properly.
Thats a BUG.
To make the red underlines re-appear I have to rightclick....untick "Check Spelling" and then activate it again.
Thats too complicated.

Search to see if a Bug is filed about that "glitch". If isn't one already, use '''File a Bug''' about it yourself. <br />

Spell Check Bug Hangs

I try to send a message, but the spell checker hangs on certain words and I get the spinning wheel and can't even quit Mail -- have to do a forced quit. Any ideas what causes spell check to hang? I did notice it hung up on an abreviated word.

I have this same bug on a unibody macbook running 10.6.2. WHen sending with "check spelling on send" enabled, or when checking spelling on a newly-composed email, Mail hangs. The only way out is force quit.
I have gone into System Preferences->Language & Text->Text and selected "U.S. English" for the spelling (dictionary?) from the default of "Automatic by Language."
I tried trashing the prefs for mail (bad idea - restored them later).
I'm calling this a bug.

We get paid with cheques and organise specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my mac book pro or my IMac of the american spell checker.

We get paid with cheques and organise, specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my apple devices, mac book pro, desktop IMac or IPhone of the american spell checker.
Everything, Numbers and Pages et al, always default back to US English. To cap it all we sell luminaires (yes this is a word used in our world of lighting design everyday) Mac and Microsoft always default - my docs have more words underlined in red that not. I once found a permanent solution for Microsoft that removed US english - and then the laptop died. Can anyone rid me of this irritation.

GOT IT FIXED! WOW!
I did better than filing a bug report. I went to Apple support, chose chat support. When it wanted $15 or was it $19 I filed an exemption which was a choice on the page, based on the fact that I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
Got the chat fellow and here we go!!!! ;-) First off he sent me this app so he could see my screen. Then he had me do a few things like move the system configuration folder to the desktop and repair permissions. Then he had me reset the SMC and Pram. Nothing helped, all the ghost computers still showed in the finder.
As a last resort he had me reset my Apple Airport Extreme. Wala! Ghost Computers GONE! He said it was a combination of stuff but mainly it was the airport extreme when I installed Yosemite. Something to do with my network. We'll see if it holds or if the problem comes back but as of now there's no more ghost computers in the sharing part of the finder.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions. I hope maybe this helps someone else.

Why is the spell checking grayed out in LR5.6?

I am using LR5.6, under the Edit menu on my Mac there is a spelling and grammar option but it is greyed out in LR? How can I spell check my Book?

Seems to be an oversight, since you can invoke spelling on most other text fields in LR (e.g. in metadata entry). You can file a bug report at the official Adobe feedback forum: Recently active topics in Photoshop Family about Photoshop Lightroom.

In gmail the spell checker underlines the ends of words that are spelled correctly. Annoying at best.

running firefox 16.0.1 on pc with windows 7. This seems to have started with new version upgrade. In gmail the spell checker highlights last parts of words that are spelled correctly.

You probably see this bug (fixed in Firefox 21):
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812638 bug 812638] - (font_size_bloat) TB is inserting/adding loads of redundant/incorrect/random <font size="x"> tags in the middle of corrected words (partially erased with backspace or DEL, then retyped) with certain valid font size attributes in HTML message source; causes spelling issues
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790475 bug 790475] - Spell checking broken (fixed in Firefox 19)
<i>(please do not comment in bug reports: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html])</i>

Language packs seem to break spell-check language selection

I suspect this is a bug, but maybe I am doing something wrong, so I'll ask here before submitting a bug report.
I have Thunderbird 31.2.0 installed on OS X Mavericks. I am pretty sure it is the en-GB version, but I have several language packs installed, including the (presumably redundant) en-GB pack. I also have installed (and sometimes uninstalled) the add-ons "Quick Locale Switcher" and "Simple Locale Switcher" at various times to switch the user interface language. (The reason I have included the two is, I had the "Quick" switcher first, and suspected what I was seeing might be a bug in the add-on, so I switched to the other.)
Now, the symptom. When the user interface language is set as en-GB, the spell-checker language choice in the "Preferences" menu (I guess "Options" in Windows, and I don't know what in Linux) is respected - I can type an email in one language, stop, switch the spell-checker language half way through, and the real-time spell-checking is then by the new language exactly as I would have expected. But, when the user interface language is anything other than en-GB (I haven't tried en-US, but I have tried German and Russian), the spell-check language follows the user interface language, and changing the spell-check language option in the "Preferences" menu has no effect whatsoever on anything.
This problem persisted even after I removed the two language-switching add-ons. Then, I removed all the language packs (which forced my user interface back into en-GB), and magically the spell-check language selection started working again.
So I am thinking the problem is driven by the user interface being from a language pack. When the user interface language matches the original install language, the spell-check language selection works; when the user interface language is something else, the spell-check language selection is ignored, and the actual spell-check language follows the user interface language.
The "Simple Locale Switcher" does not seem to allow the user interface language and the spell-check language to be switched independently, but "Quick Locale Switcher" does. However, this feature doesn't seem to work, nor does switching the spell-check language through the Thunderbird Preferences rather than the add-on (unless the user interface language is the default en-GB).
Has any one else seen a problem like this? Is there a way to fix it? (Maybe futz with the language settings on the other side of the "Here Be Dragons" warning?)

Before chasing dragons, right click in the body of a mail in the compose window and set the spell check language there. I have no idea if it will work, but it might add to the over all body of knowledge for a bug report.
Please post a link to any bug report you make.

I've lost spell check in almost every application [SOLVED]

I'm not sure what just happened, but I no longer have spell checking capability in nearly anything. OpenOffice, Firefox, and LyX just to name a few. It still works in Gedit, so something is happening. I have both Aspell and Ispell installed. I have the OpenOffice spelling package installed. I didn't really change much. In fact, the only thing I changed was removed some "orphans" to find out one of them was necessary to web browsing (nss-mdns... possible bug report later). I reinstalled all of them to see if it helped.
And....
I also replaced my version of FF3 (firefox3-systemcairo) with the one in the repos, complete with the xulrunner update and such. Any connection here?
--EDIT--
OpenOffice was a fluke. It turns out that the development branch is the only one suffering from this. I could have sworn it worked, but it's working. I'm probably wrong here.
The others?

I can't tell you exactly what I did -- I just tried different options from the drop down menu in preferences and when, eventually, after receiving some error messages for ispell and so on, I reverted back to aspell it was working again.
I removed my .lyx file, and spell checking is sort of working. It's not exactly what it use to be, but it's doing something. I can spell fairly well, I just like to write freely without worrying too much about stuff; That's what proof reading is for.
Thanks fwojciec. Yet another bizarre set of coincidences "resolved".

Using Spell Check makes Pages crash

Since upgrading to Mavericks and the latest version of iPages, it crashes every time I try to use spell check. This is beyond frustrating. Has this happened to anyone else and do you know of any fixes?
thanks!
WG

Others have reported the issue, but not everyone is getting it.
Pages 5 has so many bugs and missing features you are better off just going back to any older version of Pages which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&mforum=iworktipsn trick
Trash/Archive Pages 5 after exporting any Pages 5 files back to Pages '09 format.
Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

Why does spell checker skip some text captions?

I spell checked my project and found typos. But there was another typo on the very first slide, first text caption, which it left behind. Why did it do this?
I thought, maybe this typo is in my dicitonary, so I deleted more letters from the word, and it still did not find it.
Then, my search on this topic I found advice to export all captions to Word and spell check there, then reimport back into Captivate. Is there something I don't understand here? Why does spell check find some errors and not others?
Please straighten me out.
Thx!

Hi there
Just a WAG here, but what had focus when you kicked off the spell checker? My thought here is that many spell checkers work in "directions". For example, in some apps, you choose whether you search from the selected point forward or from the selected point backward. So assuming Captivate is programmed to work in "this point forward" mode only and you have perhaps slide three selected, that would explain why earlier slides would be skipped.
Note that it's only a theory at this point. Either way, I'd strongly suggest you consider filing a bug report to the development team about it so they can investigate. (Link to the reporting form is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Spell Check ignores added words

I have a long list of added words in LocalDictionary. (Spell Check really needs a medical dictionary.) Spell Check now ignores all added words and marks those words as misspelled. When I tell Spell Check to learn a previously added word it does so. The LocalDictionary is not updated when the word is learned. Thus, Spell Check knows that the word is in the LocalDictionary when it is told to add a word, but not when it is spell checking.
This happens in TextEdit, Stickies, StoryMill, and all applications that use Apple's Spell Check. I copied the text of LocalDictionary, trashed the original, and saved a clean copy--no help. I used Terminal to kill and restart Spell Checking--no help. Shutdown--no help. My next step would be reinstalling OS X, but I'd prefer not to do that time-consuming task. Any advice?

Welcome to our community, Dan
If you click File > Project Settings > General tab, what language is configured for the project?
Out of curiosity, how exactly did you check the dictionary to ensure the words were there?
Cheers... Rick
