Description Shantanu 2016-03-13 05:45:09 UTC
I have developed Marathi spell check for Libre office. For some words the right click option shows funny characters as shown in the image here...

https://s3.amazonaws.com/loffice/spell_check.png

The first 4 options are correct. I do not know about the rest. I guess this is happening for very short (1 or 2 character) words.

I did not notice this before 5.1.0.3

Is the problem still in 5.1.1? Or you can also test with a master build: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@42/current/

This is with 5.1.1?
Comment 4 Shantanu 2016-03-24 11:53:46 UTC
5.1.1.3 is the version I have tested. The 5.2 version has only "HP" word added to the right click as shown in the second attachment.

Hello Shantanu, 
it's a duplicate of bug 97179.

László, could you look at word HP in suggestions (see comment 4)? Thanks

So if this bug is a duplicate of bug 97179, which has been fixed, is this bug still valid?

The HP and other 2 letter options are still displayed on right click when I check for spelling of very short words. Screenshot attached. Tested on windows and libreoffice (6.2.4.2)

marathi word misspelled shows 2 letter english words as suggestion

Google search for "libre office marathi spell check" and install the extension before checking the words in this document.

type "mn" in English and you will get irrelevant spelling suggestions like AI, HP, Sun, UX, Xen on right click.

Reproduced.
I type "mn" (without quotes) and get irrelevant suggestions like AI, HP, LG, UI, UX 
Please remove them from .dic file so that those words will not show up as seen in the attachment.
