Screenshots

As a company user when a typo is made in a text input area then I would expect the Spell Check feature to work.
If in web browser it should use the built in spell checker if possible. Such as in Google Chrome.

Is this maybe already implemented and just something I have to turn on?
I tried to find in docs but no info was easily apparent to me if so.

Cheers

Hi,

We're blocked on this by the framework we're using, if you change to the React app it should work correctly.

Thanks @hillelcoren , I'll have to take a look at the react app is this it?

Says it is early preview.

For Flutter I see this issue, and I'm sure the team is already aware but just in-case someone else is searching for more info.
flutter/flutter#40682

From what I've read, it is possible in browser to enable the spell check attribute on the dom element for text inputs.
Just tried it out in JS console when focusing an input on quote line and it works, but not without issues such as scrolling text areas are not displaying the location of red squigglys correctly how unfortunate.

document.activeElement.setAttribute('spellcheck','true');

That's the code, you can switch to the React app using the icon button on the dashboard.

Spell check is being worked on but isn't quite ready for production, hopefully soon.

Confirming it works on React UI repo.

Love the larger text inputs :)
Edit: Found the button in dashboard thanks!
