[Bug 603427] [NEW] Empathy's spell-checker fails to recognize words with inflectional morphemes

[Kevin Godby]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Using the English dictionary, I enter the following words into the
conversation window:

  sign signs. strong stronger strongest. sing sings singed singing.

the spell-checker indicates that all the words but 'sign', 'strong', and
'sing' are misspelled.  Further testing seems to indicate that the
spell-checker isn't allowing for the following inflectional morpheme
suffixes:

 * plural (-s)
 * comparative (-er)
 * superlative (-est)
 * third-person singular present (-s)
 * past tense (-ed)
 * progressive (-ing)

This is with Empathy version 2.30.2-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

If you require further information, please let me know.
