When I add a word to dictionary using the context menu the underlining disappears but when I reload the document the word is again underlined.
No problem here. Please check with the very latest version. Arch Linux 64-bit Kate 16.04.2 KDE Frameworks 5.23.0 Qt 5.7 xcb wm
The problem might be overlapping with the following repaint issue: With German dictionary I write "Das ist ein Test". => "Das", "ist" and "ein" are underlined even though the sentence is correct. When I scroll the view so that the line is repainted the underlining disappears. (Kate 15.12.3, KDE Frameworks 5.24.0, Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1), The xcb windowing system)
Created attachment 100254 [details] Word gets underlined dispite the fact that it is in the correction list Here a screenshot of an example of a word that is apparently in the dictionary ("Satz") but gets underlined.
Can you test with Kate 16.04.3?
I just tested with KWrite 16.04.3 on Arch Linux and could always reproduce the following behavior: If I add a new word to the dictionary the word is no longer underlined with red until a repaint occurs, e.g. by scrolling. After a repaint the word is again underlined. If I restart KWrite however the added word is never underlined.
> Can you test with Kate 16.04.3? I added the KDE:Applications repository (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Applications/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/) to get the latest version of kate (16.04.3). The "Das ist ein Test" bug is still reproducible (except when I type it in the last line of the text buffer and press enter)
Setting to confirmed per comment 5.
I can confirm this behavior on Arch Linux kate 17.12.3 and kwrite 17.12.3. However, once I add the word to the dictionary using calligra 3.1.0, then kate and kwrite recognize the word. What file are these words stored in?
