Description Michael Rasmussen 2025-05-22 04:45:10 UTC 
The spell checker is broken when the user has configured a default and an alternate language.

Given:
enable_aspell=1
dictionary=da_DK
alt_dictionary=en_GB
use_alternate_dict=1
check_while_typing=1
recheck_when_changing_dict=1
misspelled_color=#ff0000
use_both_dicts=1

When composing the following is shown:
Dictionary: en_GB
Use alternate (en_GB)
When I hover 'Dictionary: en_GB' I can see 'da_DK' is not selected

Expected is the following:
Dictionary: da_DK
Use alternate (en_GB)
When I hover 'Dictionary: en_DK' I can see 'en_GB' is selected

"When I hover 'Dictionary: en_DK' I can see 'en_GB' is selected"
Should have been:
When I hover 'Dictionary: en_DK' I can see 'da_DK' as well as 'en_GB' is selected

It's working perfectly here using en_GB and fr_FR, in any order.

Is was caused by folder properties which changed settings from Configuration -> Preferences
