Summary0007871: Very strange behavior of spell checker if text is hyphenated
DescriptionI tried spell check on 2 small examples (English and Russian). I have problems after soft hyphens insertion.

1) English example. Dictionary is en_US/en_US/*/60. I inserted soft hyphen into word 'result'. Speller thinks that this word is wrong and suggests to change it to the same word. After replacement soft hyphen is removed. So, I think, better is to remove soft hyphens (and possibly other special characters) before send word to aspell.

2) Russian example. Dictionary is ru-ye/ru/ye/60. Text contains typos. If I start spell check, it gives message box 'Spelling check complete'. I press 'Ok'. Spell check shows its dialog, and shows part of word '????????????????' ('?????????????') as incorrect word. Where are first characters of this word? I press 'Ignore'. Speller shows message box 'Spelling check complete'. I press 'Ok'. Speller finishes. Why it doesn't check rest of text?

Last, speller doesn't do something if I press 'Add word' button. What is wrong?

yes, scribus should strip the soft hyphens before passing the text to the spell checker. (and probably also for the search and replace, too).

the question is: what to do with the soft hyphens, when the word is returned checked? should they simply get discarded? automatic hyphenation should be applied?
