Steps to reproduce
- Open sandbox vault.
- Open “Start Here” note.
- Anywhere in the note, type the misspelled word “constnats”.
- Obsidian marks the misspelled word with a red-squiggle. Right click the word, and see that no suggestions are offered.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes
Expected result
Obsidian should suggest “constants” as a correction. This is the behaviour of other word processing programs on the same computer (e.g., Word, Textedit).
Actual result
Obsidian gives no suggestions.

Additional information
“Constnats” is just one example - this happens with many misspelled words.
Obsidian for iOS does not have this problem - it either autocorrects misspelled words or makes useful suggestions.
