[Bug 1103547] Re: drag and drop does not work language support not complete

[Philipp Gassmann]

Update: It's not driver related. It's some kind of randomness.
I removed the nvidia-drivers on my machine and retried it.  Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I couldn't figure out a pattern, it seems I can do the same procedure once it worked, and the next time, it didn't, and again the next time it worked again.
I checked whether it makes a difference whether I first unfold the list and focus it, but it looks really random.
Here's a screencast: http://ubuntuone.com/3Zz7NvwEV8xlnHF7hgTjXX

After I recognised, that it is random, I retried it in virtualbox
(64bit&32bit, 3D Unity) and the second time I tried, the bug was there
too.

Title:
  drag and drop does not work language support not complete

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “language-selector” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Nomination of the fix of this bug for a Precise SRU
  ---------------------------------------------------
  [Impact]
  Users who have the enhanced "frami" version of the German hunspell dictionary installed are incorrectly prompted to install the conflicting standard version each time they launch language-selector.

  Philipp Gassmann: "I also think that this fix should be backported to
  precise because of its usage in enterprises, where multiple locales
  are more common and the preferences of users diverse."

  [Regression Potential] 
  The fix does two things:
  1. Prevents the incorrect prompts.
  2. Makes the check for incomplete language support cover all the installed languages, and not only the current system language (which is considered a fix of a related not reported bug).

  The risk for regression is low.

  Original description
  --------------------
  After dismissing the notification, that language-support is incomplete, drag and drop of the available languages does not work.

  Workaround:
  1. Press Ctrl and Drag something > Does not change order.
  2. Release Ctrl. > Drag and drop ordering works.

  Related Problem: The "frami" versions of the German hunspell packs are not recognised as a replacement for the default hunspell.
  (e.g. hunspell-de-ch-frami is enhanced variant of hunspell-de-ch)
  So every time gnome-language-selector is started, it asks to install hunspell-de-ch which conflicts without any notice!
