Description David Richards 2006-02-02 14:28:38 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
At a minimum, the 'Description' area should spell check in the same way that
email messages do.  The other fields probably should not, as they do not when
sending email.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

confirming, but to me it is an enhancement.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:29:24 UTC

See my thoughts bug #200683 comment #15.

Might be able to tie this into the same interface / registration system in GtkHtml.  Really wish the "GSpell" proposal for GLib/GTK+ would go somewhere, so I wouldn't have to write this stuff myself...
Comment 5 Milan Crha 2012-05-10 16:02:27 UTC 
I added spell checking for 'Summary' in Event/Task/Memo editors with commit 3c6919a in evo master (3.5.2+). The spell checking for Description will wait a bit, whether it'll be possible to do it with WebKit editor or not during 3.5.x development cycle (or later).
Comment 6 Milan Crha 2013-11-29 12:02:46 UTC 
Created commit e607ae8 in evo master (3.11.3+)

It requires gtkspell3 to have the Description widgets spell checked. I also covered Notes from Contact's editor.
