Spell checking while typing

re-mentioning this topic because i think it got missed. it still seems to be an issue in the latest version of RW.

Check spelling while typing not functioning on RW blog page

Upgraded to 8.1.2 today and my first activity afterwards was to write a blog on the native RW blog page. It soon became apparent that the Check Spelling While Typing wasn’t functioning. I’ve confirmed that the relevant option is selected. I can, however, check the text with Show Spelling and Grammar. Check while typing is working on other pages and in other applications. Could someone else check this out so I confirm that it’s not just me ? Thanks.

Confirmed. I thought it was Stacks at first, something I had done recently. But even in the plain vanilla Styled Text pages it works the same. Even if you try to enable it by hand with the contextual menu it reverts back to off immediately.

I also checked a few other versions:

RW v7.5.6 works
RW v8.0.3 works
RW v8.1.4 no spelling
RW v8.1.7 no spelling

i should probably ping @dan and @tpbradley on that one too.

Hmm, how odd. Looking into this now.

Thanks @isaiah, we have a fix for this in the next release!
