Karl Zeiler, the maintainer of the German dictionaries extensions (de_DE, de_AT, de_CH), has replaced version 2012-06-10 (bundled extension 'dict-de' in LibO 3.5.5.3 / LibO 3.6.0.2rc) with version 2012-06-17. The German thesaurus (version 2012-06-10; thesaurus snapshot 2012-06-08 23:35) can not handle words like 'Spaß, weiß, heiß, Schweiß, Soße, Blöße, mäßig, Größe', etc. (all words with 'ß' = U+00DF LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S: Eszett). Selecting a word with 'ß' has the following result: - Synonyms: (none) - Thesaurus: No alternatives found. This bug doesn't occur in the German dictionaries extensions (de_DE, de_AT, de_CH), version 2012-06-17 (thesaurus snapshot 2012-06-15 23:20). The corrected extensions are available on http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/german-de-de-frami-dictionaries http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/german-de-at-frami-dictionaries http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/german-de-ch-frami-dictionaries
Reproducible with - LibO 3.6.0.4 release (Build ID: 932b512) - LibO 3.5.6.2 rc (Build ID: e0fbe70-5879838-a0745b0-0cd1158-638b327)
