What I did: I turned on “Check Spelling While Typing”, “Check Grammar…” and “Correct spelling automatically.” I get a red squigly line underneath the misspelled word or bad grammar.
What happened: when I right click on it to get alternate suggestions the suggestions appear but are greyed out and not able to be clicked/selected.
What I expected: I expected that the context menu would show alternative spellings and then give me the option to select one of them as a replacement. Instead, I had to retype the misspelled word on my own.
Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc): I’m using mojave public beta 10 and Agenda 2.3.
So, interestingly, it still isn’t always selectable. I did find that if I click on a mispelled word when it has the squigly underline then a little drop-down box with a spelling correction suggestion appears. This isn’t a contextual menu (ctrl + click), just a click menu. The context menu still isn’t selectable most of the time. Every once in a while I find it is. Very confusing—don’t know when I can expect it to work or not.
misspell a word. 2) Wait for the red underline to appear. 3) single click on the word and wait for a second to see the alternative spellings appear. this works OK, thought it has weird delays and the red underline disspears if you don’t change it and you hvae to click out of the word, wait for the red underline to appear again, and then click on it again to select an alternate spelling.
misspell a word. 2) wait for the red underline to appear. 3) right click on the word and then try to click on one of the alternative spellings that are in grey at the top of the contextual menu. This does NOT work; they are greyed out and not selectable.
There must be still something else involved. What OS version are you on? And do you have an external mouse? Does it makes a difference if you control+click vs a right mouse click?
I’m also having this in the 2.6 beta (not sure if it worked for me before or not).
On Mojave, internal trackpad. I also created a new user account on my Mac, started Agenda and ran Agenda. Same issue there + I wasn’t able to select Check Spelling while Typing as it was greyed out too (see last attachment here.
Please note that you need to have a note selected (yellow) for these menus to work (at least that’s why the ones in the bottom screenshots in the main menu are not available). If it doesn’t work for selected notes like in the first two screenshots, does it make a difference if you use a control-click vs a two-finger click on the trackpad?
Maybe I’m not understanding how “correct spelling automatically” should work but taking the name literally this never happens. Basic words like “behalf”, “on” etc. are not corrected “automatically”, nor are suggestions for correcting them made.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? I just switched to “Check spelling while typing”, which appears to do a better job of at least showing me what might be misspelt.
