Bug status

Solved/cancelled

Div Pld Description
447 443 Windows speller doesn't install on terminal server => SD IT guys will have a look once more => they found it, it was wrong setup on the server
533 xxx Office 2007 gives North Sámi suggs in context menu when language is Lule => Divvun will check with the Public beta 2. This behaviour is caused by Word, and nothing any of us can do something about

To be solved in next drop

Div Pld Description
473 452 Windows installer does not autostart after download
516 4?? vista installation from zip fails

Under investigation by Polderland

Div Pld Description
461 448 Spelling errors with editing distance 1 from lexicalised words do not get correct suggestions => explanation not good enough, investigate more samples *** still investigating, low priority
522 xxx Strange compounding fenomena
524 xxx Multi-part compounds not always accepted
528 xxx Acro words get upper-case case endings
545 xxx Bad hyphenation in compounds - fence post errors? There seems to be an error in the Polderland code
