I think the last beta release said it would be the final before being a retail release and move on to developing 1.9 Beta, I would have hoped that the annoying spell check quirk that when you correct one instance of an error, by adding to the dictionary, if the word starts with a capital and it occurs further in the document without a capital at the beginning it shows as an error but right clicking only gives you the option of unlearning the spelling. nce saved and reopened it recognises the lower case word. I know this has been logged previously

Using 1.8.4.648 beta AFPUB; 10.15.3 OSX Catalina on a MacBook Pro 16. When I moved from one computer to another, the document I was using complained about many spelling errors. However, the bug is this: as you run through the spell check, and "learn" a word, it does not learn that word immediately, So when you encounter the same word again, it is still flagged as a spelling error. This happens with all of the words so if I have a word "rec" 20 times in the document, you have to "learn" 20 times as you go through the spell check. This did not happen in earlier (much) versions of AFPUB - when you learned a word, all of the same word became "spelled correctly" during the spell check. Now, I encountered some information on an Affinity Forum about adding new dictionaries: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/98911-faq-how-do-i-add-additional-dictionaries-to-affinity-publisher/ This post mentions that the dictionary words are stored in the ~Library/Spelling. In my case all the words I want are ALREADY in the "en" (English) file. But - AFPUB does not seem to recognize those words. So on the original computer, once learned, never bothered again. But on the MacBook Pro 16, you have to go through all of the words multiple times until you reach the end of the document. Then the words are all learned. One little artifact - mentioned in a very early beta bugs forum is the "Spelling Options" (when you have already learned all the words you need) always goes to the last word learned - even if that word has already been learned. I had suggested a message instead of "no more misspelled words" or something to that effect.
