What do you mean by "general section"? The
"default styles" section? Of
course, that's what I was talking about all the time. And my
documents
*do* have a language set there (see above) and it works as
described.

As the OP asked for spellchecking I addressed that by
explaining how
spellchecking works with languages. As in my documents a
language is set
in the default paragraph style always (and I assumed the
same is true
for his documents) changing the document language property
in the
metadata wouldn't help at all - even if we didn't have the
bug that the
language can't be set via API. You can try it by hacking the
meta.xml
manually. OOo will ignore the language set there - except if
you also
removed the language in the default style.

This does not
depend on paragraph styles (at least what the rest of the
world thinks
of when talking about paragraph styles)

No, I did not manually remove anything.
And even if I did, I would still see the value in the
font-tab.
But not in the organizer tab. (and that's back to the
topic)

"only then" is the default case.

Not correct. As written: I did not change anything. I don't
use a custom
default document template (and hence I'm not using a
modified default
paragraph style.

I surely do. If you don't call something a bug when it works
/as
designed/, then I'm with you, but when you say: It doesn't
work, neved
did, so thus cannot be a bug, then we have different points
of view.
