Summary: kmail spellchecking status indication
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: RedHat RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
ReportedBy: rod nayfield com
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from: RedHat RPMs
OS: Linux
This may preempt bug 71941 and/or 69469, but is slightly different.
The request is for KMail to have multiple status indicators for spelling status.
I am assuming that KSpell_AsYouTypeDisablePercentage is a configurable variable, and \
that the non-technical (read: GUI) user can access it.
The "states" of auto spell checking are:
1. Off (i.e. turned off)
2. On, but auto-disabled
3. On, and not caught up
4. On, and caught up (i.e. checked everything you've typed so far)
#1 probably does not need to be displayed, the state can be seen on the options menu.
#2 is already displayed in the text bar
The last two are important because it is definitely possible for the user to hit \
"send" before spelling is complete. In a case where the checker has auto-disabled \
and auto-re-enabled, the user has an additional false sense of security that his text \
has been checked.
I believe that this feature may help find some more bugs, as I have seen 'blocking' \
type behaviours (first misspelling is red, subsequent does not get checked) and \
extremely slow spellcheckings.
Also see my next request for another speller idea.
