Spellcheck does not work in 0.64.0 and 0.64.1

[Berry Klomp]

Hello All,

After updating from 0.63.x to 0.64.x the spelling checker does no longer work.

Did somebody notice this too?

Could you open an issue on GitHub if this is still an issue?

Hi All,

The problem is caused by "chromium-args" in package.json.

Per NW.js version:

  NW.js version < 0.64.0, "chromium-args": "--enable-multilingual-spellchecker --enable-features=WinUseBrowserSpellChecker"

  NW.js version >= 0.64.0, "chromium-args": "--enable-spell-checking"

To switch on and set the languages use following code in your JavaScript:

  chrome.settingsPrivate.setPref('browser.enable_spellchecking', true) // false to disable
  chrome.settingsPrivate.setPref('spellcheck.dictionaries', ["en-US", "de-DE"], "null", ()=>{}) // set the languages

Dictionaries are automatically downloaded.

Have a nice day, Okido
