Spell -- Add

[SegundoBob]

I very recently began using the Leo-Editor spell checking facility.  Whenever a correctly spelled word was flagged as misspelled, I hit the "Add" button to add the word to my dictionary.  All seemed fine till the next time I used Bazaar to pull the latest changes.  Then I noticed that "adding" a word, changed the Leo-Editor source controlled file leo/plugins/spellpyx.txt.

Unless I'm missing something, this is undesirable.

An ordinary Linux user who installs Leo-Editor probably does not have write permission for leo/plugins/spellpyx.txt.  Doesn' this mean that the "Add" button doesn't work for him?

For me, this problem is different.  I use the bzr-explorer diff facility to find the difference between my leo/plugins/spellpyx.txt and the last pulled version.  I then save my additions.  Then I revert leo/plugins/spellpyx.txt.  Then I pull the latest Leo-Editor version.  Then I add my additions to the latest leo/plugins/spellpyx.txt. I have semi-automated some of these steps with a Leo-Editor script that I execute with Ctrl-B.

Does anyone see a simpler procedure?

Isn't requiring users to change a file that is a Leo-Editor, source-controlled source file a bad idea?

Please file an official bug report, if you haven't already done so.

After I clear all the emails, I'll start looking at the bug items.
