SUMMARY

Checking `Enable automatic spell checking` in the settings does not enable spell checking automatically.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the settings dialog for an account.
2. Go to `Spell Checking`
3. Select `Enable automatic spell checking`
4. Close the settings dialog
5. Mistype a word in the message compose window

OBSERVED RESULT

The mistyped word turns red, but does not get the red underline. Clicking on the word with the right mouse opens a menu without word suggestions and where the menu item `Spell check` is not checked.

Checking the `Spell check` menu item will suggest words at the next right click.

EXPECTED RESULT

The spell check should automatically be enabled, because the corresponding configuration has been checked.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.8
KDE Plasma Version: Flatpak installed

COMMENTS

Why is the mistyped word red *and* underlined? Wouldn't one indication be sufficient?
