Description of problem: Starting a check spelling for a Tex file under emacs with the "ispell-buffer" command freezes after a few words. The command boxes display the message: "continuing spelling check using enchant with default dictionnary..." and that's all. CTRL+G kills the spelling process. It looks like the freezing occurs on some words associated with Latex command like \author{blablabla} Cheers. Check out the test.tex file attached, and try a "ispell-buffer" command. It freezed just after the \author{Charles Browson}.
Created attachment 2009 [details] test file freezing enchant over a ispell-buffer command
I add the following pb into this bug. In addition to the above freezing, Enchant ends up being completely unusable over Tex files. I observe: 1) Pressing the "a" command, which is adding a word to the personal dictionary under emacs, crashes the spelling process. 2) The speller does not disambiguate latex commands from typeset words and therefore stops on each pure latex expression. I think these pbs make it unusable for latex files, unless there is some Tex supporting option that we could swith on? None of these pbs were present with the aspell checker. Cheers, Chris.

Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja

Yes it is. A fix would be to default the emacs speller on hunspell that has support for emacs; although I cannot test it due to that bug: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5749 chris.
ping^2 for the 2 bugs mentioned above? Still there in mga3 :-/ Cheers, Chris.

Unbelievable, this mess is still here...
Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 5
Thierry, do you have any objection to switch default spell checker for emacs to hunspell (I can do it). In its current state, emacs will freeze on any latex file spelling. This bug is tricky, by default enchant should use "myspell" which is supposed to be hunspell. So that's really an enchant bug. Unfortunately, enchant dev seems to have stopped since 2010 :-/ Unless Anssi has a fix, I guess there is not too uch options let me know; but that bug should be closed now. cheers, chris.
