I have discovered a case where I cannot "learn spelling." In the screenshot below, I tried to right-click on the name Malchus and select "Learn Spelling." But when I did that, the word would not be added to the French spelling dictionary. The undo history also shows Learn word: "" It appears to be related to text in a text frame that comes from a master page. When I tried to create a simple file with just that one paragraph to include with this post, I discovered that the word could be learned if I just made a simple text frame on the page and pasted it into that frame. However, when I created a text frame on a master page, and then pasted that text on the page that was based on the master, it could not learn the word. I have included a small file with these conditions. To test, try to "learn" the spelling of Malchus. I tested on both the stable version and beta 458 on macOS 10.14.6. learn_spelling_test.afpub

I reported this bug in the Publisher Beta forum a week ago and didn't receive a response. It is also a bug in the retail version 171.404. If I use the Place function to import text into a publisher file, the auto spellcheck identifies words not in the dictionary but is unable to add those words using "Learn" It cannot "Unlearn" either. The History shows that even if the word is fully highlighted it isn't being detected and Publisher records it as an empty string. This only seems to occur when the Text Frame is created in a Master Page and not when a Text Frame is created on a document page.
