May I add: I misspelled a few words, and as described above, clicking
on the proper spelling did not change them, so I corrected them manually
and that worked for all but one word: Imbecile. No matter what I did
the red underline kept reappearing, even after I deleted it and typed it
anew! The spell checking in Evolution has always been shaky like that:
Highlighting correctly spelled words, whole rows of words, and the
highlight remaining after correction.
This problem is in addition to a few others, and the whole spell check
system needs a closer look at.
If This helps: I use both English and German, and have corrections for
both no matter which language I am using at the time. Other programs
have the document's language set somewhere and only spell check that
language. It is required to switch languages in order to also switch
the spell check to that language. I think having spell checkers in more
than one language running at the same time may be a part of the problem.
