Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux Open a new Kmail composer window. Type a made up word in the main area. No red squiggle. Open settings, spell checking and be confused because the 'automatic spell checking' is already on. Have to turn it off, OK window, turn it on, OK window, press space to get it to underline. Version is 1.13.6 but that isn't in your drop down. Reproducible: Always
