--- Comment #4 from Michael Weghorn <[email protected]> ---
This may or may not be relevant once somebody looks closer into this:
While reading the Orca help, I came across the "Identifying Misspelled Words"
section in [1], which says:

> Most applications and toolkits indicate that a word is misspelled by
> underlining that word with a red, squiggly line. The presence of this line is
> typically exposed to assistive technologies as a text attribute. As a result,
> you will find spelling errors amongst the text attributes you can
> choose. By default, the spelling error attribute is enabled for both
> speech and braille and will therefore be presented along with any
> other attributes whose indication you have enabled.
> 
> In addition to accessing the presence of spelling errors as a text
> attribute, if you have key echo and/or word echo enabled and type a
> word which is misspelled, when the spelling error indication appears,
> Orca will announce "misspelled" so that you can immediately go back
> and correct the error.
> 
> Finally, when you are navigating within a document and the caret
> moves into a word which is misspelled, Orca will announce the
> presence of the spelling error.

This is the case when moving the cursor in a Writer document, but not in the
spelling dialog. Might make sense to take a closer look at this and how to
properly expose the text attribute to AT.
