[oXygen-user] request about french spellchecking

[Adrian Buza]

Hi Matthieu,

Thank you for letting us know about this. This problem is still present 
in Oxygen v13.2.

It seems both spell checkers that Oxygen provides (Hunspell, used by 
default and the Java spell checker, optional) seem to have trouble with 
this Unicode character: U+2019 ("RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK")
I have logged this to our issue tracking tool and it will be analyzed 
and resolved in a future version of Oxygen.

Unfortunately I don't see a proper workaround for this, other than 
replacing (’)/(U+2019) with (')/U+0027 ("APOSTROPHE"). From your 
description that doesn't seem like an acceptable solution.

Regards,
Adrian
