Steps to reproduce
Copy the following misspelled strings into Obsidian:
didnn’t`
schoool’s
‘flexx time’
Expected result
Misspelled words are underlined by the spell checker.
For reference, here’s what this forum’s editor displays to me above:
Actual result
None of the misspelled words are underlined by the spell checker.
Any word that includes or is adjacent to a single quote character ' is excluded from spell checking.
In the English language, that blocks spell checking for all possessive and contraction words, as well as any single-quoted phrase that starts or ends with a misspelled word.
Environment
- Operating system: MacOS 10.15.7
- Obsidian version: 0.9.18
