Not everybody seems to have this problem (according to #fedora on IRC), but I have it on both my home machine and work machine. Basically, if I right-click on a misspelled word, OOo locks up for about two or three minutes, sometimes even locking up X, while I wait for it to load in a lot of dictionaries. I ran it through strace, and I found out that it was loading every dictionary for every language when I right-clicked on a word. To check if it was my settings, I deleted ~/.rhopenoffice* and ~/.openoffice* and ran OOo again. The same problem occured, even with default settings. If I edit /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst to include only the en_US dictionaries, then the problem doesn't occur. It's perfectly fast. So, a few questions: (1) Why aren't these dictionaries in the -i18n package? (2) Why is OOo searching all dictionaries when I haven't told it to, and my Language Settings are correctly set to their default settings? If it's relevant, both installations were upgraded from FC1 -> FC2 -> FC3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.5.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on AutoCheck for Spelling. 2. Type a misspelled word. 3. Right-click on that word. Actual results: Hard Drive spins for two minutes, OOo grows huge in RAM. Expected results: Right-click menu comes up immediately.

This is a dup of bug 124374
Ah, you're right. I suspect that bug has so many dupes because it doesn't have the word "spell checker" or "dictionary" in the summary. :-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 124374 ***
