OK...

Downloaded 1.4.2svn and installed it.


First try:

Loaded an existing work in progress, 46 pages in various states of 
development.

Selected a small text box with no known errors.

RightClick->EditText
Edit->CheckSpelling

It offered me dictionary de_DE_OLDSPELL. Selected English UK 
alternative. Immediate crash, all windows gone, no visible signs remaining.

Same thing happened when I tried it a second time, and a third.


Second try:

Made a new doc with a text box containing the sentence

     "This is a tust text bx."

RightClick->EditText
Edit->CheckSpelling
Now offered me English UK dictionary.
Was able to select "test", and the word was corrected.

Noticed that it hadn't spotted that "bx" wasn't a word, so again,
RightClick->EditText
Edit->CheckSpelling
Again it offered me dictionary de_DE_OLDSPELL. Selected English UK 
alternative. Again immediate crash, all windows gone, no visible signs 
remaining.



This all looks like good progress, but choosing the dictionary seems 
difficult. Is there a way to make it default to English (British) ?


Many thanks, J/.
