  • DIALOG turns entire paragraphs red during the automatic spell check pro

    From wasbit@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 16 19:00:26 2022
    Often something triggers the Dialog automatic spell check algorithm to turn entire lines (sometimes the entire article I'm composing) red.

    To stop it, I click spell checking on and off a few times.
    That seems to "slap" Dialog's spell checker algorithm back to its senses.

    Have you ever seen that happen?
    Do you know why it happens?

    Is there a permanent solution?

    You need to set a default language/dictionary from the right-box next to
    the spellcheck tick box.

    word boundary detection

    That's the most logical explanation that fits the evidence.
    When it happens, I turn spellchecking off and then back on.

    Often (but not always), that rectifies it.
    Thanks.

    Sometimes, word boundary detection of the Dialog composition window gets
    out of synch. In my experience, deleting and re-entering a character from
    the first word of the text with red underlining re-initializes the word boundary detection.

    Do you know why it happens?

    I never cared enough to try to detect a pattern. Automatic background saving while changing text in the foreground buffer seems to play a role, though.

    Is there a permanent solution?

    Apart from disabling spell checking? ;-)
    No.
