Thunderbird 60.5 British English dictionary randomly marks /correctly/ spelt words as wrong. {Edit to correct version from 65 to 60.5}
Hi,
All in the subject really. The British English dictionary is randomly marking correctly spelt words as wrong. I tried adding Marco Pinto British English dictionary, when that made no difference I tried the one it forked from. That wouldn't even install! It only works with the default US dictionary which is a pain as /it/ marks words wrong just because Americans spell some words differently.
I've tried researching and all I found as people with earlier version but similar problems.
Kind regards,
Julian

If your TB version is 65 (or 60.5), you need v. 2.69 of the EN-UK dictionary:

Tested and working here with TB 65b4/W10.

Hi,
Thanks for the swift reply.. in fact I already had that version installed and it wasn't working. I uninstalled it and installed a fresh downloaded copy in case it had corrupted. The problem still persists; when I tested it I was just going to compose an email with 'testing to see if this works' however it immediately marked 'testing' as wrongly spelt.
Kind regards,
Julian
I can't reproduce that: with the Marco Pinto dictionary 2.69 installed in TB 60.5 and 65b4 in W10, no correctly spelled words are marked as misspelled, including 'testing', which is the same in all version of English (as far as I know). The same dictionary works properly in Firefox 65.
Since you're on Linux, maybe that accounts for the difference. Check your TB version under Help/Troubleshooting Information.
Beg pardon.. I gave the Firefox version. Thunderbird is 60.4.
Kind regards,
Julian
