           Summary: Changing spell language produces a nonsensical warning
                    and unnecessary behaviour
           Product: knode
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: knode-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut nothingisreal com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

To reproduce:
-------------
1. Article->Post to Newsgroup
2. Tools->Spelling
3. Select a new language from the "Language" drop-down box.
4. Up pops a dialog window with an "OK" button and the message "You have to restart the dialog for changes to take effect".
5. Click OK; both the dialog window and the spell checker window close automatically.

Discussion:
-----------
"You have to restart the dialog for changes to take effect" message makes no sense whatsoever.  What does "restart" mean in this context?  To what "dialog" is it referring?  Does it mean that I have to save the article as a draft and then reopen it?  Does it mean that I have to start the spell checker again?  The warning message should be more specific.  Better yet, KNode shouldn't expect the user to have to manually restart anything in the first place.  If the spell checker needs to be restarted, KNode should do that itself, possibly with an informational dialog such as, "Spell check will start again from beginning of document."
