Sure. Ok I think the code you want to look at is in
src/text/fmt/fl_Doclayout.cpp
In this file is a method
_toggleAutoSpell(UT_Bool bSpell)
if bSpell is true Abi will be placed in autospell mode and those squiggles
will appear.
This method is called from
FL_DocLayout::_prefsListner
With the code:
// auto spell
pPrefs->getPrefsValueBool( (XML_Char *)AP_PREF_KEY_AutoSpellCheck,
&b );
pDocLayout->_toggleAutoSpell( b );
The line
pPrefs->getPrefsValueBool( (XML_Char *)AP_PREF_KEY_AutoSpellCheck, &b );
Should reflect the value as set from the options dialog. Clearly something
is going wrong in this chain from the Options dialog. I would put in
series of UT_DEBUGMSG(("Harald: Autospell = %d \n",b));
statement from the Options code:
(From src/wp/ap/xp/ap_Dialog_Options.cpp plus
src/wp/ap/unix/ap_UnixDialog_Options.cpp) and trace through that a change
in the autospell option in the dialog Does/Does not stop the squiggles.
Find where this is going wrong and fix it. Even if you can't fix it if can
identify where this is failing it will help.
Cheers
Martin
