Misaligned text at the bottom of the screen with Spell Check set to autodetection of language and automatic spell checking enabled.

Downloaded the new KATE 17.04.1 64-bit.exe for Windows and noticed the spell checker would not work. Went to Settings->Configure KATE->Editing->Spellcheck to make sure the Enable autodetection of language box was checked, it was. Then noticed that above the Default language drop down menu there was a "No backend found for spell checking" error message. I tried to change the language from English to something else but there are no other options even though I chose to install all the available languages during the setup. Even though it spell check doesn't work somethings it comes back with error messages at the bottom of the screen with the text misaligned.

Something has gone wrong with the latest Windows installers. Please use the older release as a workaround until we have a new installer where it works.

We have new installers online on https://kate-editor.org/get-it/ that should fix these issues.
