Tokodon client does not do a spell check before posting nor does it highlight incorrectly spelled out words

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

2. Click on Post
3. Type an incorrect spelled word like "dictonery" instead of dictionary. No indication is given that the word "dictonery" is not correct. Nor are any alternatives provided for the same. 
4. Right click on the incorrectly spelled word and see that the option "Spell check" is enabled. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The incorrectly typed word is not highlighted and nor are correct options given. Please see the attached file, "Screenshot_Tokodon_SpellCheckNotWorking" for more details.

Sorry about creating this bug. I did not have the hunspell and its associated dictionary packages installed. That is why it was not working. Once I installed hunspell and associated dictionary packages spell check worked fine.
