Description Martin Fuhrer 2018-04-23 11:17:08 UTC
Open a C++ (*.cpp) or C (*.c) file (I couldn't replicate using a plain *.txt file) with two or more "pages" of code and enable Tools > Spelling > Automatic Spell Checking. Locate a word that is underlined red (i.e. flagged for incorrect spelling) among comments or strings in the source code. Right click on the word and select Spelling > Add to Dictionary. The word will no longer be underlined, but if the word scrolls out of view and then scrolls back into view, it will be underlined once again. If I restart KDevelop, the word is recognized as correct with no issues.

This is happening to me too using Kate. I am using Markdown. 

Add a word to dictionary, underline disappears,

Scroll down, scroll back (or save and reopen) and underline reappears!


Kate version 17.12.3,Linux (x86_64) release 4.15.0-24-generic

Looked in my ~.aspell.en.pws and the words are being added in. But seem not to be taken into account when spelling the document!

After investigating more I notice that I had the dictionary set to en_GB with -ise endings. When I switched it to en in Kate's spelling settings my personal dictionary worked perfectly.
