Steps to reproduce
This section assumes that your secondary mouse button is the right one, which is the default on most systems. It also assumes you’re using Windows. If not, the file paths may be different.
- In a fresh Obsidian Vault (sandbox is fine), open a new file and type something incorrectly.
- Right click the red underline and add the word to the custom (user defined words) dictionary.
- Go to User/AppData/Roaming/obsidian, and delete the file ‘Custom Dictionary.txt’.
I am not sure what this path is on macOS / Linux, but it is the central application storage. It’s the same directory the Sandbox Vault gets placed in.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
yep!
Expected result
The words defined as ‘correct’ previously would be no longer part of the user dictionary, and would be marked incorrect.
Actual result
The words defined as ‘correct’ don’t show up in the custom words list (Settings → Editor → Spellcheck → ‘Gear’ icon), but are also not underlined (corrected). When typing a slightly different version of them, it shows the original under the suggestions.
