on 4.4 and before opening the LT options window called up the language module based on the active paragraph’s language.
This seems to be no longer the case, making it even harder to deal with problematic rules when working on a multi-language document.
In 4.5 I did some changes to handle the language in the Option window. Could you please check if the problem exist in 4.5 too?
I think the point was that is started with 4.5 and was okay until 4.4.
When I revert this change, the issue is fixed: [LO Extension] solves some problems with the language handling in the… · languagetool-org/languagetool@deec404 · GitHub - however, I don’t know what exactly that implies and whether it would introduce new issues.
I just fixed the issue.
Version 4.5.1 has just been released, it should fix this issue.
4.5.1 constantly reverts to factory settings, no choice but to revert to 4.4 and manually restore all settings.
I cannot reproduce that - what is your exact workflow that causes this?
I’ve done some further tests and it seems that the act of calling up the settings window while LT is refreshing after a rule-change causes it to fail to load the user settings … you can cancel in that case, but pressing OK will cause it to save the factory setting over the user settings. (The new rules in 4.5 had me haste a bit too much in setting them correctly, so I think it best if this issue is fixed ASAP)
and IMHO 4.5 didn’t really add that many rules that were worth the hassle.
