Sorry Yutaka, I did as you instructed but it is still the same: a grayed-out "(No Spelling Suggestions)".

BTW, a reset sets the first context menu item to just that, a parenthesized "No Spelling Suggestions".

Sigh...

Dear Yutaka!

I installed EmEditor as an Administrator (obviously) but I immediately switched to my working user account. Only There I configured it to my liking, mostly display and keyboard shortcuts. The Admin account however remained in its mint default condition.

So I had an idea: I'll switch to the Admin account and see how is the speller doing there. And voila, there, not only were "word suggestions" and "Add to Dictionary" alive and kicking, the out-flier when clicking the bottom context menu, "Dictionaries >" was grays-out, namely as though no dictionaries are installed. As opposed to this, in my working account, an active "1 en_US" is shown!

So I came back to my work account and tried to switch back to the mint default condition, as in my Admin account. I clicked many "Reset" buttons in many tabs of the "Properties of ALL configurations" menu item, but no improvement!

How can I reset all settings to the default, clean installation state?

Hello mguttman,

If you uninstall EmEditor, and click "No" when you are asked to save your data during uninstall, and install EmEditor again, then all your data will be fresh.

I don't know why you had so many problems with spelling features, but I hope you can figure out what the problems were. Please let me know if you still have questions.

Thank you,

Dear Yukata,

I think I caught the culprit!

As you suggested, I uninstalled EmEditor and answered "No" to the proposal to keep the settings. On reinstall however, the speller behavior was the same. I then went on and with the RegEdit expunged all traces to the EmEditor from the registry. I also deleted all related files.

Such a clean reinstall seemed to do the trick. All these speller features were there: Suggested spelling alternatives, "Ignore all" (Thank you Yukata!) and "Add to dictionary". Wonderful!

I then went on with (misplaced as it turn out) confidence to configure where spelling is checked. As a software developer (and a non-native English speaker) I need the speller to check just comment text where I use "natural" (as opposed to "computer") language. Well, when I did that, all speller features disappeared! Oh God, not again!

I experimented a little, and my conclusions are:
* Checking only "Comments" turns off the features
* Checking say "Strings Enclosed by Single (Double) Quotation Marks" will turn on the spelling features only when right clicking over misspelled single (double) quotation marks, but NOT when right clicking a misspelled comment text, even when the "Comments" check-box is checked (!)
* However, checking both the "Comments" and the "Rest" check-boxes did turns on the spelling features on right clicking misspelled comment text (?)

Please make it possible to have a full featured speller on comments only…

Meir
