Hello mguttman

Thanks for reproducing this bug, and I am very sorry for any inconveniences. I am fixing that bug on the beta 10.

If you have further questions, please let me know.

Thanks again!

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…

Regards,
Meir

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 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?

Regards,
Meir

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...

Hello mguttman,

Can you try resetting the Context Menu? To do that, select Customize Menus on the Tools menu, select "Context Menu", and then click "Reset". I hope this helps this time.

Please let me know if you still have issues.

Hi Yutaka!

I did what you said: I uninstalled the language plug-in, a dictionary is selected, I manually configured (is that the problem?) the Pop-up Context menu to include "Spelling suggestions", I am clicking the RMB over an erroneous word, but nevertheless the context menu shows a PARENTHESIZED GRAYED-OUT "(No Spelling Suggestions)".

Well, where did I go wrong?

Regards
Meir

Hello mguttman,

Please make sure a proper language is selected from "Dictionaries" popup menu (on the context menu). Please try another word if you can see any suggestions and "Add to Dictionary" command. No plug-in is necessary.

Thanks Yutaka!

The US Spelling plug-in came bundled with your Win32 Beta 6 (and 4 before it.) I didn't install it myself, separately.

And yes, I tried to see suggested words/"add to dictionary" when I indeed was on a wiggly underlined word, but to no avail...

OK! So assuming I uninstall the US speller plug-in. What speller plug-in should I install instead?

Regards,
Meir

Hello mguttman,

I received your email. Thanks for your screenshots Apparently, you are using the U.S. Spelling plug-in. The toolbar button is in the plug-ins bar. This should be uninstalled. To uninstall the plug-in, you can go to Tools menu, Plug-ins sub menu, and then select the Spelling (U.S.), and click Uninstall button.

The context menu should be populated with suggested words when you right cilck on a word underlined with a red wiggly line. "Add Dictionary" will be right after all the suggested words. When you define menus, "Add Dictionary" can't be selected, but it is included in "Spelling Suggestions" command.

I hope you understand all the above. Please let me know if you still have questions.
Thank you for using EmEditor!
