Simplenote-electron: No spellcheck

Created on 22 Oct 2020  路  9Comments  路  Source: Automattic/simplenote-electron

Expected

I would expect when I make a spelling mistake, the app will help me auto-correct it (or at least show a red dotted line underneath the wrong word). This was working in the previous version of the app - 1.2.11.

Observed

Nothing happens when I made a spelling mistake on the notes, even if I didn't capitalize the first character of the first word of the line.

Reproduced

Note: The issue was originally reported in 3424081-zen for the Windows app but I'm able to replicate this on https://app.simplenote.com.

  1. Log in to Simplenote app at https://app.simplenote.com/
  2. Create a new note
  3. Type a wrong word, e.g. contry
  4. See that the app does nothing with the wrong word.

I would expect the word to be automatically corrected as Country, capitalized and spelling corrected.

Spellcheck is not implemented on 2.0. We're hoping it will return in the future.
