mm, 1 pixel is too thin, 2 too thick :-/

i was troubled by clicking on a misspelled word and the dotted lines
disappearing

(these may be finished words, misspelled or not recognized by the
spellchecker such as names)

so on entry (mouse click or arrows) i expect to keep the underlining
(a misspelled word is a misspelled word)

on editing the word it may make sense to not paint the line, but even
here i am not so sure since the underlining provides feedback
(assuming we are updating continuously)

i checked Word:

no underlining when typing a new word, and misspelling is applied
after the cursor leaves the word

on entry of a misspelled word the underlining is maintained

on edit of misspelled word the underlining is maintained until the
word is spelled correctly

...

what do people expect from other editors?
