Not sure if it's the same case, but here it's not working correctly either (same Kopete and KDE versions, but using Arch Linux). Under the ICQ protocol automatic spell check should work, since it doesn't use rich text. In fact, if I right-click on an ICQ contact and select "Send single message" the spelling checker works fine. But it I click "Start Chat..." it doesn't work. In Yahoo protocol, if I disable rich text, it works fine, though. Ok, sorry, I just realized I have to right-click on the text area of the chat window and enable it from there. I think this might be the solution to the original poster problem, as long as he has automatic spell checking enabled in settings > configure > behavior > chat Yes, right clicking the chat area lets me turn on spell checking. Though the bug about the ability to enable spell checking from the Settings menu still persists. The symptoms are cured but the problem still exists :) Yes, I agree, the option to enable it from the Settings menu in the chat window is greyed out. Moreover, enabling it with a right-click on the text area doesn't remember the option and you have to enable it on every window every time. This problem exists in ICQ and MSN accounts, but not in Jabber or Yahoo accounts. The different behavior could be related to the rich text used in the latter ones, while the former ones don't allow rich text. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Well can't speak for other distros but this is a problem in Kubuntu still as of KDE 3.5.7 and as for right clicking and selecting auto spell check that works Slightly different bug: Right-clicking in the text area will let me turn on spell checking. Then, the auto spellchecking works, but it has weird effects with rich text (this is a Yahoo window I'm testing). Specifically, misspelled words (including Kopete itself) not only turn red in my window, but are seen as red by the other person. What's more, this being Yahoo, they turn the entire message red. I cannot turn on spellchecking any other way, including manually. The button is greyed out. I do have aspell and an English dictionary installed. Re: Comment #7 The red text is the reason that automatic spell checking is off by default for protocols that send rich text. SVN commit 831935 by rjarosz: Allow spell-checking on html/rtf text. Save spellchecker settings for every chat window. Use global spellchecker settings (enable/disable). Patch checked and updated by Dennis Nienhüser.
