Title:
  gedit doesn't handle apostrophes correctly when spell-checking

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  Confirmed
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Open gedit, type in "wouldn't" without the quotes, and either enable Autocheck
  spelling (Tools menu) or use Check Spelling to open the dialogue. Gedit suggests
  replacing the "wouldn" part with "wouldn't", which is performed, would yield
  "wouldn't't". Also works with "doesn't", "couldn't", "shouldn't" etc. and
  anything where the contracted form adds letters to the original word, i.e.
  "should not" becomes "shouldn't". Obviously "shouldn" isn't a word... but you
  know what I'm getting at :) Apostrophes seem to be considered as the end of a
  word, like whitespace.

  $ dpkg -l | grep gedit
  ii  gedit        2.12.0-0ubuntu1 light-weight text editor
  ii  gedit-common 2.12.0-0ubuntu1 light-weight text editor support files
