New issue 19233 by levliko: Spell checking is too aggressive in text forms,
URLs
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=19233
Chrome Version : 3.0.197.11 (Official Build 22553)
URLs (if applicable) : google.com or anything with text fields.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to www.google.com (or any text form!)
2. Type 'australia'
3. It gets underlined with capitalized version (Australia) suggested.
4. While I typed the URL www.google.com this very moment, it got underlined
in two places (www and google).
What is the expected result?
Clearly, URLs should be recognized and not spell checked. Also, in Google
text boxes (and most online text forms), using lowercase is fine and the
user should not be distracted with capitalization. I would argue that
forms like Google OneBox should not spell check at all (it already has
instant auto-suggestions, which are smarter). Capitalized words like
"OneBox" (which got underlined too) should be presumed to be names and
exempted. Especially in quote marks as used here.
What happens instead?
See attached images. Red ink all over. Very distracting!
