Description gene kodadek 2015-01-12 03:26:07 UTC

The auto spellcheck feature is not functioning. I have auto spellcheck enabled both globally via system settings and for Konqueror specifically. Aspell with approriate English language dictionaries are installed, and spell checking works in other applications. On most chat forums the right-click to spellcheck feature works, but even that is greyed out in the context menu on my Wordpress blog. In no case does auto spellcheck work. This problem persists whether I am using KHTML or Webkit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enable "Automatic spell checking enabled by default" in Settings > Configure Spell Checking
2.Mispell a word in a forum post or blog entry
3.

Actual Results:  
Mispelled words not underlined. In some cases (wordpress) spellchecking is greyed out in the context menu as well.

Expected Results:  
Mispelled words should be underlined. Spell checking should work from context menu in all cases.

Running KaOS, but have had same results on Arch, Netrunner, and Chakra.

It works here (KHTML 4.14.3), so I am unsure if there is a configuration problem, or if some packages are missing.

Turns out I had a config error... it now works with KHTML. Still not working with Webkit, which means it's still broken. Google with KHTML is half-broken, and icloud doesn't work at all.

The bug exist with WebKit and Wikipedia edition.
The bug appears with WebKit and, for example, when editing the Wiquipedia

I think this is superseded by Bug 341183 because WebKit is now depricated and WebEngine is current.

Comment 5 Linux User #330250 2021-03-09 07:05:10 UTC

Oh, sorry for this, both are outdated... My bad.
