This makes no sense to me and the modern version of the dictionary uses the following:

WORDCHARS ß-.

I think that should be fixed in the OLDSPELL version but I do not know the language well enough to know. Doitsu, what happens in your testing if that is removed from the WORDCHARS, are correct german contractions handled properly then?

Thanks,

I checked my text with the hunspell command line tool of cygwin. I stored the text as utf8 (using pspad/notepad++). I used the OLDSPELL .dic and .aff files. The words with apostrophe are shown as misspelled, i can add them to the users dictionary and afterwards they are shown as correctly spelled.
This should be the correct behavior.
