SUMMARY

The spell checker, under Edit > Spelling, attempts to find spelling errors inside of code blocks and inline code, which produces a ton of annoying false positives.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Paste some code inside of either an inline code segment (single ticks) a code block (triple ticks)
2. Run the spell checker from Edit > Spelling

OBSERVED RESULT

Spell checker flags "spelling errors" in code blocks.

EXPECTED RESULT

Spell checker should ignore code blocks.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Ghostwriter 24.08.2 from the Arch Linux package
