What I did: Spell checker functionality irritatingly bad
What happened: When a word is incorrectly spelt it is highlighted with a red underline. To check the spelling or to add/ignore the word you have to highlight the whole thing using your mouse. Most other Apps only require a right-click of the mouse to bring up the contextual menu.
What I expected: Just to right-click and underlined (mis-spelt) word and be able to Add/Ignore
Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc): macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. Agenda Version 2.5 (42)
Thatâs not what Iâm seeing, you do however have to make sure the note is selected. If I right-click on a word with the red-squibbly line (just in the middle, without selecting the whole word) it works just fine with me. Can you find a pattern under which this doesnât work?
Thanks for your response. Please see a couple of screenshots
The note is selected and I have âright-clickedâ the red-squibbly line. You will notice that the spelling options are greyed out as is the option to Ignore Spelling, Learn Spelling etc.
Thanks Phil. Indeed, you have to select the word yourself first. Some other apps will select the word automatically when right clicking. We will see if we can support this in future.
I was unaware of the spell-checking facility because mistakes are not underlined. There isnât a setting I can find to turn on checking - is there one?

Great to see the improvement in the spell-chek functionality. Previously a mis-spelt word had to be highlighted with the mouse, now its just a case of right-click and the word gets highlighted automatically.
You need to put the cursor into a note before trying to use the menu items. Those items are for the currently selected text, so first you need to select some text (put cursor in) and then it should work.
Is this feature supposed to be the âsameâ in iOS? Iâm having issues with it and the contractions (like dont and isnt) while using the external Apple Magic keyboard.
I just tested this on our latest build, and it seemed to work for me. I typed âdontâ, and it become âdonâtâ. I typed âdonâ and then could select âdonâtâ instead. Both seemed fine.
If you are still having trouble, can you double check the build you have, perhaps wait for the new beta that is coming in a hour or two, and if it still has issues, give me explicit instructions on how to make it âbreakâ.
