Thanks for that, tompave. That shows the underlying bug that I’m trying to work around is still present on macOS, annoyingly.
And wow, this is a tricky one. It seems to be down to using “Automatic by language” as the spell-checking language. Try going to Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar, switch from “Automatic by Language” to “British English”, “American English” or whatever your own variant is, and then reload the document (e.g. by switching to another document in the binder and back again). All words should now be underlined correctly.
TextEdit’s behaviour is also a little weird and doesn’t underline everything correctly either. For instance, you suggested I type this sentence:
“How iss this even posible, preccious?”
With this sentence, “iss” and “posible” are underlined in TextEdit but not in Scrivener.
But try taking out the “even” in TextEdit, so that it becomes:
“How iss this posible, preccious?”
Now “iss” and “posible” aren’t underlined in TextEdit, either.
As I say, this is all down to “Automatic by Language” - with this setting (which is the default), macOS tries to guess which language it should spell-check against as you type - and it doesn’t always get it right, it seems. I believe that it recognises “iss” and “posible” as correctly spellings in some languages but finds their grammar odd in the longer sentence.
I can fix more errors by passing the current system language into my extra spell-check, but we’ll have to see if this causes more problems… I won’t be able to fix it so that it finds errors where TextEdit doesn’t, though.
All the best,
Keith
