Description hagar_de_lest 2010-09-18 10:45:54 UTC 
If a document has no spelling mistake, invoking the spell check with F7 shows no
language in the related field. This is misleading for the user who can think
that there is no mistake because the spell checker is not correctly installed.

The screenshots in the linked topic are rather explanatory.

Seen on the go-oo.org version (Ubuntu users in the linked topic) but also on the
vanilla version 3.2.1 on xubuntu 10.04 for me.

@TL: confirmed in current and native OOo 330m7.
- a text with 1 error
- F7
- correct the error
-> "Continue checking...?" appears and the current language is visible in the
listbox in the background

- a text with no error
- F7
-> "Continue checking...?" appears and the listbox in the background is empty.

There is slight a slight misunderstanding here:
The list box does not shoe the language of the current text. It shows the
language used for checking the currently highlighted text. And if there is no
text highlighted (because there is no error) the language box will remain empty.

Thus instead of showing a rather arbitrary language (in case that the document
contains more than one language) the dialog itself should be hidden if no error
was found.

Should be easy to fix. Setting target to OOo 3.4.

Hiding the dialog in the background does not really work since it is visible by
default when it gets executed and even hiding it again right away in the c-tor
will result in noticeable glitches. Thus I discussed this with UX and the result
is that the language under the cursor caret should be displayed.
