poedit spellcheck

Poedit spellcheck is not working for me. All deps and doctionaries installed. It works by default on Fedora 20. I would be grateful for some hints how to enable it under Arch. I'm using xfce and Amd_64 architecture.

Maybe you can provide some more information? For example:
- what is not working
- what did you try
- are there people with similar issues?

Also, check this out to learn how to ask questions.

Spellcheck, as I said. It should work since it has gtkspell3 among its dependencies. Ubuntu uses libgtkspell0 which is part of or another name of gtkspell

I have therefore installed gtkspell, but nothing changed

I couldn't find other people using Arch with similar issues. This forum is one way of finding them.

It says: display the fact that you have done these things first; this will help establish that you're not being a lazy sponge and wasting people's time.
I am not an IT person, but it doesn't follow that I am a lazy sponge.

I am not saying that you are a lazy sponge, I am just saying that there is no information here. Nobody can diagnose anything from "It doesn't work". I don't know what your background is, but take for example organising an event. You can't organise anything if the person for whom you are organising doesn't give any information, right? But, if you read it as "runical knows better and doesn't want to help me", I am sorry, as that was not the intention (This happens way to much lately. Maybe I have to be less direct.)

Can you clarify for me what exactly is not working? Is it spell checking in general or is it just spell checking in poedit (I guess just in poedit from your first post)? Also, which spell checking system did you install and which dictionaries? Aspell, hunspell or any other?

EDIT: Also, can you point me to an example file, so I can test it on my system?

Thanks for answering, runical.
I have recompiled the package and spellcheck is now working. Looks like a bug or a deliberate imission in the binary package.

Good to hear. If you have enough information on how to reproduce, please consider filing a bug with the bug tracker.
