Bug ID: 387359
Summary: rendering of spelling mistake lines with spell
checking enabled doesn't work
Product: kate
Version: 17.08.1
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nfx...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Kate used to highlight misspelled words when automatic spell checking was
enabled. This broke on my system. I don't see anything visually different about
words with spelling mistakes, and the usual red line is missing.
The underlying spell checking seems to work: the Tools->Spelling->Spelling...
menu entry will find and ask about bad words. They're just not rendered with
the red under line (apparently called "spelling mistake line" in the syntax
highlight setting).
This is a rather old issue, I only just reported it now because it was
something so obvious that surely would be fixed soon. Plus Debian remained on
an old kate version for ages. But it also happens with the official appimage
and when I built a kate release from git (a slightly older release because git
master required some weird newer KF stuff).
Surely this is some sort of configuration of packaging issue, but I'm out of
ideas.
