Spell check is not working for pasted text
-
When I paste some text the Spell Check doesn't put the red line under wrongs words. I need to click in each paragraph or even word to checking be performed.
The same occours when I open a page that already have a text.In general I thing that the Spell Check is far from be satisfactory.
Thanks

@isaacdemorais Where do you paste the text? I can't repro. It works fine on Notes.
Edited: What about you @Pesala, where do you paste?

Hi @lamarca, the error occurs in any HTML "textarea" field.
I need to click in each paragraph for the Spell Check to be performed.
This happen with Pasted text and when the text already existe in textarea. -

I think that Spell Check is an important productivity tool.
I'm a Web Developer and I Copy and Paste my clients' text all the time and I need a Spell Check that I can trust on. -
@isaacdemorais I can see from your posts that English is not your first language. Spelling is not your main problem. What you need is a grammar checker. There is an extension called Grammarly that can help you with that. It will also serve as a workaround for the reported bug. Try it and see. It will check your spelling too.
For me, my issues arise from typos (I don't often paste text) and inattention due to being in too much of a rush. Clicking in each paragraph is a non-issue due to the low frequency with which I need to do it.
Edit: I installed the extension and quoted your first post to check it. The highlighting shows both spelling and grammatical errors.
