Dictionary language change

I write in 5 different languages and recently something changed.

Previously a language selection worked like a Radiobutton, only one choice possible, if you selected a different language, the previous one got unselected.

Now that doesn't work anymore, if I switch on a language it get ADDED to the list, which is not helpful since typos in one language is a word in another.

So my complaint is that 50 times per day I have to first UNSELECT the current language, then re-enter the menu and select the wanted language, it sucks.

I'm sure there must be something to fiddle.

I hope this article will help. Spellchecking was extended recently.
