Could you open developer tools (View -> Toggle developer tools -> Console tab) and show us what it says all the way at the beginning?

It should say ā€œSpellchecker successfully loaded.ā€

If not, it might have some kind of error that could help us know why itā€™s not working.

Weird that seems to suggest it should be workingā€¦ Iā€™ll get a linux rig later to test.

#5

Can confirm itā€™s not working even if it seems to say everything is fine. Iā€™m investigating why itā€™s happening.

#6

Found out why, it will be fixed in the next update!

#7

@Shida Thank you! This will help a lot!

Hi @Shida
I see fixed badge here. But still have this issue.
That was fixed internally and not been released yet?
Or I need manually update application somehow?

#9

My bad, we were going to release the desktop app on the weekend but we havenā€™t done so yet.
Someone seems to have run into a performance issue with our deployment to the web app so weā€™re trying to investigate and get that fixed before we deploy that to the desktop app.
You should see it fixed once thereā€™s a version update (hamburger menu > about).

@Shida Works good now! Thank you!
