Spellcheck zoom bug


Recommended Posts

I think this is by design, (but 140% may not be quite large enough). At what level of zoom (out and in) would you expect to stop seeing the spell check lines? Surely they add nothing below 10%? And is there some point where you are zoomed in too far to be interested in spell checking (if only one word is on your screen do you still want it underlined? perhaps so)

For me, the red underlines worked in the previous beta & perhaps initially in the 1.7.0.58 one as well, but now it does not:

Not sure about an exact level of zoom. It depends on the size of the text. I just tested it with 5pt text and therefore 400 – 500% would be great.
The question is if there needs to be a limit at all.
(I only mentioned the 11% because they mark the lower limit.)

It's not by design. Spelling underlines aren't supposed to depend on zoom. Their display seems quite erratic. I'll log it.
