Go to: Tools --> Preferences --> Language settings --> Spellchecker and remove the "x" out of the <Spellcheck continuously> box I imagine you must have placed that "x" in as it was never a default in my install on Debian testing.

Also having that feature on might have the spellcheck sidebar constantly on your monitor.
