This is a nice e-mail and works perfectly.  But in principle it is a good
idea to send a bug report viea the reportbug tool.

Just try the

     Options / Configure Texmaker / Editor

dialog and Eddit the value

     Spelling dictionary

So you can solve this "problem" yourself, but I admit that we should
start with a working spelling dictionary and the default setting to

    /usr/share/texmaker/en_US.dic

is stupid because a default should work out of the box and this one
will fail definitely.  So we try to fix this in the next package version.

Thanks for the hint

          Andreas.
