Crash when spellchecking certain characters

theorbo · 09-01-2019, 08:34 PM

I'm experiencing a crash when right-clicking on certain characters while editing an e-book. I'm wondering if it's just me.

Steps to replicate:

Click the insert character menu. Choose mathematical symbols--> Mathematical alphanumeric symbols, choose the non-bold lower case k (it's the fourth available 'k'). In the editor screen it will be flagged as a misspelling. Right click it. At this point my calibre crashes, no error message.

What OS and Calibre version?

That's a bug in hunspell, sadly this project is not maintained any more. I will look into fixing it if possible, but dont hold your breath.

Actually I was wrong it looks like hunspell has gotten new maintership. calibre 4 will come with an updated hunspell that fixes this issue.
