Yes, that is correct. > After upgrade to Snow Leopard I don't have it anymore. > I'll check it on another system... > > To be sure: are you able to send me a test case?

I can't get LyX 2.0alpha6 running on my iMac; crashes almost immediately. However, I did install it on Windows 7 (which is installed on a Bootcamp partition of my iMac) and indeed the spellchecker ran without any problem. (alpha6 seems to run very well in its Windows incarnation.) Unfortunately, alpha6 also "upgraded" my document so I can't edit it anymore under LyX 1.6.7. (Not really a big problem; the paper is actually finished and about to be sent off for publication.) -chris
