Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Automatic spelling is disabled globally. When I enable it in some tab, it works until I switch to another tab. When I get back, spell checker is disabled.
Can confirm for 0.12.0 on 3.5.3, using Slackware packages, and aspell selected in Control Centre. Auto Spell Check works fine once turned on (via chat window text entry context menu), but yes, switching to another conversation tab and flicking back (even if that is all you do) loses the setting. This is despite having it switched on in the preferences. This default is seemingly ignored.
I'm having the same problem with .12 in kubuntu Dapper.
Me too with kopete 0.12.3 in kubuntu edgy. (kde 3.5.5)
This also happens to me under Kubuntu Edgy using Kopete version 0.12.4. I'm using KDE version 3.5.6

Created attachment 26066 [details] Fix spellchecking Fixes bug when spellchecker is always disabled by remembering if it was enabled or disabled. The patch also removes restriction that spellchecker can't be enabled if richtext is enabled. This restriction isn't needed anymore because KTextEdit uses Highlighter. It would be great if somebody could also test it and/or review it as I want to push it into KDE 4.1.
Created attachment 26070 [details] Fix spellchecking, follow context menu changes Update of the patch that doesn't return something in the void toggle... function and introduces an additional slot for updating the spell check action: It is needed to listen to changes of the auto spell setting made through the context menu action of the KTextEdit. This way the auto spell check setting in the menu is also updated when the setting is changed through the context menu.
Oh, and working fine btw, so +1 for commiting from me :-)
Looks fine to me. Please commit
