Hi,
I have Thunderbird 9 installed and I am using your extension with a German and English dictionary.
When I try to type: “itella does only support” in a new mail Thunderbird hangs with 100% cpu! I figured out that it’s the extensions fault. When I disable the extension everything works as expected.
I really, really love your extension but it is unusable now for me. Could you please fix it?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
With Thunderbird 9.0.1 installed DS is sometimes causing the following message : “a script is non responsive” (approximate translation from French) where the script mentioned is Dictionary Switcher. TB is hanging for 30s. Hope you can fix this.
Same here, with the new version of thunderbird (9.0.1) in french (with french english indonesian dictionary), it crash the program… Had no problems before…
Please comment if anyone find a solution.
Thanks and happy new year!

Hi !
I do confirm the above bug reports :-( I had to disable this great extension with TB 9.0.1…
Keep up the good work.

with TB 9.01 stopped working. it was instead working fine and flawlessly with TB 9.0.. Don’t think the modifications are so much, could you update this plugin. It’s the only one offering such a functionality in a so efficient way.. Thank!
I have the same problem as above (Thunderbird 9.01, German and English dictionary, autodetect: true): After typing a few words of a new email, TB hangs with 100% CPU (of one core). An update would be great - thanks!

using it for Thunderbird 9.01 (win32)
the autoswitch feature was great. however recently not working any more - there is a never ending loop in “switch.js”
please repair - I’ll make a donation - promise
I use a brute force workaround: Replace the do-while loop in switch.js that starts at line 92 with
var fakecnt = 0;
do {
fakecnt++;
misspelled = 0;
if (dict != this.dict)
sc.SetCurrentDictionary(dict);
for (var i = 0; i < l; i++)
if (sc.CheckCurrentWord(text[i]))
misspelled++;
if (!newDict || misspelled < oldMisspelled)
newDict = dict;
oldMisspelled = misspelled;
dict = this.getNextInList(dict);
} while ((misspelled > maxMisspelled && dict != this.dict) && fakecnt < 1000);
this limits the loop to 1000 cycles. Works so far…

Hi Dao - GREAT add-on with no competitors or alternatives. This add-on is rather important for my work and for that of others. As with many other users, my upgrading TB to 9.01 on MacOs (Snow Leopard) has created an incompatibility with the add-on that _crashes_ TB. It is only at moments like this that we’ve realised the _critical_ nature of the add on - if you are willing to publish an update, I don’t think any of the users would protest a donation request - I would certainly happily make a contribution. Thank you!
You need to modify the install.rdf in order to install in TB 9, but it seems to work.

Thanks EK! So far, Markoswitch is working. Bonus : it allows to select only the dictionaries you want to switch. Very useful as I do not use the built-in French dictionary and as at each update of Fedora may en_XX dictionaries are installed (I have to disable them by modifying the aspell folder) whereas I only need en_US.
The installation was flawless on Firefox 9.0.1, so I do not understand your remark about install.rdf…
Thanks anyway!

Bonjour Clément
je ne suis pas arrivé à installer Markoswitch. Quel est votre fichier xpi ? Merci d’avance,
Arnaud
I meant TB 9.0.1 above (Linux and Windows)

Dictionary Switcher 1.1.5 seems to work again in TB 10.0. If you re-install it make sure extensions.dictionary-switcher.autodetect is enabled in about:config. It was disabled in my TB for some reason…
Markoswitch worked for me most of the time, but sometimes it switched back to the wrong language after some writing.
Hey efemes !
Which version are you using ? I can’t seem to get it working in TB 12.0.1…
I tried both 1.1.5 and 1.3.2

#1.
the “switch icon” is NOT offered in customize dialogue: nor in FF12.0, neither in TB12.0.1.
While automatic switching often doesn’t work (german mail texts within en-US TB12.0.1!), without manual switch this way add-on is useless.
Thanks for Dictionary Switcher. The auto-switch feature is wonderful.
However, it appears that Dictionary Switcher occasionally crashes Thunderbird (on the Mac, I get the spinning beachball from hell). It seems to occur most frequently when typing words that start with a capital letter. Disabling auto-switching or disabling the add-on altogether seems to fix it (obviously).
