Hi,

G Chrome isn't spell checking or underling a mistake despite it's turned ON & the language set......any suggestions, clues?

Thanks.

Thanks Tony care to have a look at the screen shot & see whats wrong.......?

In Settings (Top right with 3 black bars) > Show Advanced Settings (Bottom) > Privacy > Check; Use A Web Service To Resolve Spelling Errors > Exit. You should see a red squiggly line under a word after you have mis-typed the word and pressed space bar. Right-click on the word with the squiggly line and you should see a choice of words suggested in the top part of the right-click menu. Click on the desired word in the list and it will replace the mis-spelled one.

Note to readers: Not all languages are supported for spell-checking.

Do you see the red squiggly line under your mis-spelled word after pressing spacebar?

Note : Just remembered to add that you need to click on the word in the right-click menu you want to replace the mis-spelled one.

UK version works ok as well.

Tony,

I don't use Google Chrome so I don't know specifically what works and what doesn't, but I do sometimes use a browser called Black Hawk which is a mixture of Chrome and Firefox in one, but is potentially more Chrome orientated and spellcheck doesn't work in English (UK) so was going purely by this reference.

Possibly as Tony suggests, Re-install.

Tried Tony the same.........

Tony this spell checker issue is only happening on Linux distros & not on my W7 rig, though both have the same settings & updated....any ideas why?

Thanks.
