Description Wolfgang Schnerring 2007-04-25 07:09:13 UTC

Running M-x ispell in emacs on a file containing German umlauts yields

"ispell-process-line: Ispell misalignment: word `asdfö' point 1; probably incompatible versions"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emacs --no-init
2. Type in a wrong word containg umlauts, for example "asdfö"
   (Note that the error doesn't occur with correct words like "Tür")
3. M-x ispell

This also happens if ispell-program-name is set to "aspell", so I suspect the problem is on emacs's side.



M-x emacs-version
GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, Motif Version 2.2.3) of 2007-03-19 on nautis

C-h v ispell-version
ispell-version's value is 
"ispell.el 3.4 -- Fri Aug  4 09:41:50 PDT 2000"

nautis:~>ispell -v
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 08/01/01

nautis:~>aspell --version
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.5)

Humm. I had LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro. If I unset that or change it to just de_DE, the error goes away -- I can't say I understand this, so I'd be happy if someone enlightened me, but I'll close this bug anyway. Sorry for the noise.
