Description Miles Lane 2001-08-13 04:00:31 UTC 
I think this is a bug.  I'm not sure if it is in
gnome-spell, aspell or pspell.  Basically, I think
spell checking within certain text constructs should
be disabled.  Specifically, any contiguous string 
beginning with http:// or ftp:// should be ignored.

GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
