Hello, I'm resuming this as I've had this exact problem with Mac OS 10.4 (tiger) for a long time. Shortly, when I open a document like the help guide the spell checking works and I get a window popping out and staying in place. When I create a new document and write something like "Hello world" I cannot see any window popping out or it appears and then disappears very very fast (I cannot even see what is written inside). How is this thing supposed to be fixed? I have tried installing cocoaspell, aspell and aspell via fink and I always have this issue. Pls help me, I really need this feature. It's pretty useful when you write a documentation.
RE: Problem with Spellcheck Deskins, Nathaniel A Thu, 01 Nov 2007 06:54:27 -0800 Hmmm...just a follow-up on this issue. I've had the same problem on another computer. Both are running Windows XP, service pack 2. At home, however, I was able to get Lyx to spellcheck fine with no problems. I can't recall the OS, but I don't think it's service pack 2 of XP (service pack 3?). Anyways, the spellchecker seems installed fine, because I can spellcheck the Help documents with no problems. It's only when I try new documents does the spellchecker stop working.

I've tried to get it to work with versions 1.4.1, 1.4.5.1, and 1.5.2, all full-bundled installs. All give the same problem. This is for a windows XP machine. When the initial file (splash.lyx) pops up, I can click on Tools-> Spellchecker and the spellcheck seems to run fine. It finds a misspelling (DVI) right off. If I create a new document, then try to run spellchecker, the spellcheck page pops up for a second, then disappears. If I try to run spellchecker again, no window pops up. I've even tried copying the splash.lyx text to a new document and trying to get spellchecker to work, but the spellchecker gives the same problem. It seems only to occur with new documents, since I can still run spellchecker on splash.lyx. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Aaron
