30.0.50; ispell fails on apostrophes when the dictionary includes contractions |
|

1. "emacs -Q" (in an environment that uses hunspell by default).
2. In the *scratch* buffer, type "this wiouldn't work".
3. Type M-b three times to move point before the "w" in the second
word.
4. Type M-$. The sole offered replacement is "wouldn't" but the
text it offers to replace is "wiouldn"; typing "0" to take the
replacement results in "this wouldn't't work" in the buffer.
On my system, the value of ispell-really-hunspell is "1.6.2"; further
configuration data appear below. The problem seems to be that the
dictionary hunspell is using contains contractions, but ispell is
expecting just [:alpha:] words. I tried tweaking the regexps in
ispell-dictionary-alist to accept apostrophes, but got the error:
ispell--run-on-word: Ispell and its process have different
character maps: (* & wiouldn 1 1: wouldn't)
It seems like a job tailor-made for OTHERCHARS, but I get the same error
whether I add the apostrophe to OTHERCHARS via
(setf (nth 3 (assoc nil ispell-dictionary-alist)) "['0-9]")
or to CASECHARS and NOT-CASECHARS in tandem, via (e.g.):
(setf (nth 1 (assoc nil ispell-dictionary-alist)) "['[:alpha:]]")
I do not understand how to get past this point, so either the code is
failing somehow (and I appreciate that it might be hard to glean the
right config bits for the dictionar(y|ies) in use), I am missing or
misunderstanding some part of the documentation, or the documentation is
lacking. TIA,

OK, thanks for getting back to us. I'm therefore closing this bug.
