I've just installed Thunderbird 102.
Now it doesn't recognize anymore the installed hunspell and myspell
dictionaries for spellchecking. If they aren't supported anymore by
thunderbird, then they should be removed from the recommended list.

Hello Michael,

an Add-ons installed? What happens if you disable all Add-ons?
Is that happen too if you start with a new profile?
Does this behavior also happen if you use pre-build upstream binary?

Please note also the hints within the Debian wiki.

hi Carsten
Thanks for your reply. Actually I've took a look at the wiki, but when I
saw the first thing beeing mentioned is icedove I've assumed it's
completely outdated, and didn't continue reading, sorry.

As it seems the problems are no add ons or anything. But maybe it has to
do with KDE.

I'm using kde plasma. When I pin thunderbird to the task bar, and start
it up from there, then the only dictionary available is the english one.
When I start it from the console, application launcher or krunner
(alt+f2) all the installed dictionaries are available.

No idea what is different when it's pinned to the task bar. Maybe some
environment variables? no idea how to find out. In previous versions of
thunderbird that wasn't an issue.

To get it there right click on the application in the task bar, choose
"pin to task manager".
