I can't get Thai spell-checking to work in the word processor of OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.  I have installed the Thai dictionary package myspell-th Version 1:3.2.0-3ubuntu3.1, and its installation set it up for hunspell.  The problem seems to be that the words provided to the spell checker are defined as columns, so that the spell-checker tries to check the 4-character word for 'island' as three or four words!  The default language for complex-text-layout is set to Thai, and I get 'Thai justification' of Thai text (i.e. spaces are clearly inserted between characters rather than just growing interphrase gaps).

Am I missing a trick, or does Thai spell-checking not work for this combination of OS and OpenOffice.org?  The interface language is set up for English - I do not yet need it to be set up for Thai.

Separating words by ZWSP, plain space and even having one word per paragraph all fail to help.
