Yep, that was the major point why we left continuous spellcheck off years back. Now it seems that you missed the new thread about continuous spellcheck from one month back where left wing of devs come up with the reasoning that many users won't get idea about existing spellcheck in lyx unless it's on by default. I do not remember whether the patch made it into 2.4 or its pending. Pavel -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
