Description Tristan Miller 2017-06-30 20:14:18 UTC
Deep in the Spelling pull-down menu of the compose window is a "Change to…" command that doesn't appear to do anything.  The ellipsis suggests that it is supposed to trigger a dialog window, but no dialog window appears.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the compose window
2. Spelling->Options->Dictionary: XX->Change to… (where XX is the name of the active dictionary)

Observed behaviour:
3. Nothing happens

Expected behaviour:
3. Presumably some sort of dialog window should appear.  (But what for, I have no idea.  I don't see any reference to this command in the Claws Mail User Manual.)

No, the "Change to..." is supposed to be sort of a title for the dictionaries submenu, giving context to what the choices below do. By itself, the menu item does not do anything.

In retrospect, perhaps it wasn't the best idea (I admit, it was mine). :)
Comment 2 Tristan Miller 2017-06-30 20:45:42 UTC
I think the menu would be understandable enough (and certainly less confusing) if the dummy command were simply removed.
Comment 3 Cristian Secară 2017-06-30 21:34:35 UTC
Somewhat related to this dialog group, the "Dictionary: XX" string has a weird alignment (looks like an uncentered middle).

I mention this in case the dialog will get some code review with the occasion of this bug report...
