Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-19 20:59:23 UTC 
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/products/gedit/+bug/32007

"Spell checking a document (via Tools->Check Spelling) does not report misspelled words; however the automatic spell checking (Tools->Autocheck Spelling) correctly underlines them in red.

I'm using Ubuntu Dapper with gedit version 2.13.91-0ubuntu1."
Comment 1 Paolo Borelli 2006-02-19 23:10:55 UTC 
ouch! you are right, I seem that I broke it in the last commit to spell plugin...

there was a spot in the code which did

		word = get_current_word (doc, &start, &end);
			return NULL;

istead of

		word = get_current_word (doc, &start, &end);
		if (word == NULL)
			return NULL;

thus returning NULL incoditionally :/

Fixed in cvs.
