Re: [libreoffice-users] Disappearing Spell Checker

Well, its a moot point now whether it is related to one of those bugs or not, as I went ahead and 
installed 3.3.3 final. But now have another problem as I ran back into the installation problem 
that started with 3.3.2. The installation hangs - it will not complete on its own. It gets near 
what you think is the end of the installation and it "hangs" my CPU at 50% usage. The first install 
try I hit "cancel" - nothing happens. I hit the "X" (close window) on the installer dialog window 
and nothing happens. I open Process Explorer and "unopkg.bin" has my CPU "hung" at 50%. So, I just 
let it sit there like that for close to 15 minutes. Then I "killed" the "unopkg.bin" file in 
Process Explorer. The install window closed and became a window telling me that LO installation had 
been stopped - that it could be installed again later.
I waited about 15 minutes and tried again. This time I got the window with 3 options: Modify, 
Repair, or Remove. I choose Repair. Again at a point when you would think the install should be 
complete (the status bar quits moving altogether), it hangs my CPU up again at 50%. So I don't do 
anything this time but wait for 25 minutes. Status bar on the installation window has still not 
moved and my CPU is still at 50%, hung there by "unopkg.bin". But this time when I kill that 
process I get the "Installation Complete" window, and it appears all is well and I have LO 3.3.3 
installed. Haven't found anything wrong yet.
This started with the first install of LO 3.3.2. It also happened with 3.3.2 both times I 
"repaired" spell check by using the Modify function of install. So that was 3 times with 3.3.2 and 
now the first time with 3.3.3.
I run Win7-64.
Oh, yes, I had completely uninstalled OO, using RevoUninstaller, a few hours to doing this new 
install. Thought that maybe somehow the side by side installation might be doing something with the 
install package. But that didn't have any effect on the installation process.

Maybe related to the following bug reports:

(1) Bug 37439 - Dictionary access lost [duplicate of Bug 37195]
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37439

- Please have a look at the screenshots (Attachments/Details)
- You might try (s. Comment #1):
1. Close LibO.
2. Go to your user profile: rename the folder 'bundled'
[path: '...\3\user\extensions\bundled'], e.g.: 'bundled_old'.
3. Restart LibO:
A new folder 'bundled' will be created in the user profile.
All bundled dictionaries will be available.
