In current Geary, it works correctly when you disable the spell check, as the red lines disappear immediately with no need to type.

But, when you re-enable the spell check, the red lines do not appear. And if you start typing, red lines will appear only for new text entered, while the previous text is ignored. I guess this is not correct. (I have two languages enabled for spell checking, if that matters)

This is a WebKit issue, so have forwarded it upstream: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181519
