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

> 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
