Please, post a screen recording of this happening in the sandbox vault

Sorry, I don’t know what the sandbox vault is or where to find said vault.

lower left corner ? → Sandbox Vault Open

Thanks. I’ve not had to use that before.

In the sandbox vault, misspelled words aren’t even being underlined/marked as misspelled. So, nothing doing there. Not much to show.

I made a .mov screen recording of it happening in my own vault, but .mov not supported to be posted here.

Spellchecking is working for me.

you have to enable spellchecker in the sandbox vault too, I guess.
Alternatively, if you want to use your own vault, enter restricted mode, use default theme, disable all the snippets, restart obsidian.
Then make a screen recording, you can upload the .mov somewhere and link it here.
