On the Debian side this is tracked as https://bugs.debian.org/944295, which will be fixed in the next upload, but that’ll probably be too late for Tails 4.1.

I’ll try two things:

  • export DICPATH=/usr/share/hunspell, as done in Debian’s Vcs-Git
  • pref("spellchecker.dictionary_path", "/usr/share/hunspell");, as we did in Tor Browser to fix the same problem (Bug #17150)

I’m using the branch that’s the most up-to-date, as per Feature #16771#note-33.

Built from abc690987d and this works for me: I can select French language for spellchecking and spellchecking works OK.
