Spellcheck gets in the way ⬝ WS-App on Windows

Question

The Webstudio app on Windows with an English OS assumes all text to be English and marks every word in other languages as wrong. Notion that uses a similar wrapper gives users an option to turn off spell-checking (second screenshot). Could you have a look whether you can also give us this option?

Oleg Isonen · Answer

try property spellCheck

Holger · Answer

Seems to work - but on a per instance basis. Applied and turned off for paragraph 1, the spell-checker remains active for paragraph 2.

Oleg Isonen · Answer

yep, actually that should be potentially turned of in editing mode, not like this

Oleg Isonen · Answer

its only a problem during editing

Oleg Isonen · Answer

is this chrome or desktop app?

Holger · Answer

This is the app on Windows (see thread title). Notion also uses Electron and has an option to deactivate. In Browser I have spell check set to off and don't see the problem.

Oleg Isonen · Answer

that's an important info, lets see

Holger · Answer

I'm traveling, can only check on Laptop right now

Oleg Isonen · Answer

I mean I see where the issue is coming from, its the electron app, not in the regular browser

Holger · Answer

Thanks for your effort, @Ivan Starkov! As the issue is app/Electron related, there is likely no more need for screenshots.

I try hard to leave all relevant info in the very first post, so that devs don't have to read much.

Ivan Starkov · Answer

For web devs website is also app 😉 miscommunication 😉

Holger · Answer

You're right, will use Desktop App from now on.
