[Bug 103003] Re: Unable to choose dictionary in Thunderbird with only Mozilla's XPI spellcheckers

[Shriramana Sharma]

** Summary changed:

- (Feisty) Can't install further dictionaries with the Thunderbird build-in link
+ Unable to choose dictionary in Thunderbird with only Mozilla's XPI spellcheckers

** Description changed:

- I've tried to install further dictionaries with the Thunderbird build-in
- link from the preferences. The build-in link starts Firefox and opens
- the following homepage.
+ From the Mozilla webpage:
+ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/dictionaries.html
  
- http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/dictionaries.html
+ I have downloaded their plugin XPI spellchecker:
  http://downloads.mozdev.org/dictionaries/spell-de-DE.xpi
  
- But Thunderbird does not recognize the successful installation and I
- can't choose the new dictionary in the preferences.
+ But even after installing this in Thunderbird, I can't choose the new
+ dictionary in the preferences. Once I have installed a myspell package
+ as instructed below, I am able to use the XPI dictionary also, but there
+ is no reason I should not use the Mozilla-provided XPI dictionary
+ without installing myspell.
  
- I use a fresh installation of Feisty Beta (32-bit).
+ Kindly enable the dictionary combobox immediately even when only an XPI
+ dictionary has been installed.
+ 
+ This bug is still present in Thunderbird 2.0.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 on
+ Gutsy. It was originally reported for a clean installation of Feisty.
