What happened?

macOS Version only:
Usually after the (sub)menuItems : in "Edit > Spelling & Grammar" come from the disabled state they are checked (with a checkmark) again and again even it I unchecked them a thousand times before.
Suggestion: Please read Apple's TextField documentation at least the fist concept pages (don't avoid the provided delegates/callbacks) since it looks as if you were making assumptions and manual state changes that result in fighting with the OS.
This is completely reproducable. I haven't found any workaround.

Anything else?

I'm not happy about filing a macOS-UI-Bug and having to fill in irellevant XMPP and private Server Information, iOS Version and OS Monal Verions here? Why are they mandatory to send a macOS-UI-only-bug-report? It almost kept me from submitting this bug. Feels like English bureaucracy. 42.

I assume you mean the text input field in an open chat. If so I can't reproduce your problem in macOS 14.4.1 (M1 processor).

We don't make any assumptions nor do we set anything regarding spell checking at all.
We only implement 3 UITextView delegates: textViewDidBeginEditing:, textView:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementText: and textViewDidChange:.

This documentation says that all UITextView delegates are purely optional.

That said: if you really think it's a bug in Monal and no obscure Catalyst related bug in MacOS, feel free to create a PR or send us a patch via mail etc.
I'm happy to merge that.

Regarding your second message: neither your iOS/macOS version nor the Monal version are mandatory. In fact most of the fields are optionally. But you are right, at least the Monal version should be mandatory for every bug report, I'll change that.
Regarding the other mandatory fields: Often a user is not able to distinguish a pure UI error from an error involving the XMPP server/protocol. And I don't want to manually ask for all these values for the vast majority of error reports, so they are mandatory.
