Spell check does not work with enabled fixed width or underline

Created attachment 171710 [details] Screen Shot with and without working spell check. Changing the text style in a note (to "fixed width" for example) removes all the red underlining that indicates misspelled words.
Thanks for bug report. Underline does not work too. Also, checkboxes for both these items are not checked when selected text is unerlined/fixed width. Everything work fine with other formatting items.
Created attachment 171966 [details] [review] Make spell check work with underline. Since spell check underlines misspelled text with red curly line, ordinary underline does not work for misspelled text. I'm not sure which one is more important. Currently spell check does not work at all for underlined text. With this patch applied, underline does not work for misspelled text.
I have fixed spell check for fixed width and checkboxes for both fixed width and underline in git. The decision for underline is needed. To me, spell check didn't work only for underline and fixed width. The rest from formatting worked well.
Thank you! FWIW, I would personally prefer spelling checking to override underlining.
Comment on attachment 171966 [details] [review] Make spell check work with underline. Looks good to me. Please commit
BTW I think it was just a bug, I don't see why underline shouldn't spell checked.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
