I would be changing into a "read-only mode". I don't know what that really means (perhaps, if I could somehow keep it in design mode and still fill in the form I would be able to avoid this issue. But I am not, as far as I know). However, By function I must at some point press that design mode button so that I can start filling in the form. And at that precise moment it turns off spell checking.
