New ticket #5052 by Igrace

For Beanbag, Inc. Review Board

Spell check is disabled when markdown mode is enabled

What version are you running?

7.0.4

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?

All text boxes in reviews

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Type some gibberish into the text box, red underlines indicate spell check is active.
  2. Press the "Enable Markdown" checkbox
  3. Red underlines disappear, spell check is disabled.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would like to be able to spell check my work even when markdown is enabled.

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Windows 11 Google Chrome

Please provide any additional information below.

I understand that code will confuse the spell checker, but I'd rather have red underlines all over my markdown snippets than accidentally make spelling mistakes in my prose. Is there a configuration option I can enable, either in my browser, or on the review board instance to enable spell check with markdown mode?
