https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376565 Stephan Sokolow changed: What|Removed |Added CC||kde_bugzill...@ssokolow.com --- Comment #12 from Stephan Sokolow --- For some additional information, here's what else I found. First, https://tug.org/pipermail/texworks/2016q1/006411.html (a reply to a report of the same bug in Texworks 2015) claims that the mechanism by which the bug occurs is: 1. The underline's position is determined by the font 2. Depending on how the font positions the underline, it may get clipped away Second, it's been reported as https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-50499 with the claim that the bug should be fixed in Qt 5.10 and a request for the fix to be tested that no one has responded to. It's also observed that using `QTextCharFormat::WaveUnderline` instead of `QTextCharFormat::SpellCheckUnderline` functions as a workaround. (Something I can confirm on Kubuntu 16.04 LTS's Qt 5.5.1 with the PyQt5 project that led me here, but it does so by being tall enough that only the bottom third of the wavy line is clipped away.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Interesting. This would be very good news as the bug had spellchecking unusable for more than 2 years now. I'll try to get my hands on a Kate build with Qt 5.10 Or if someone else has then please confirm the fix. Thanks Bogdan -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376565 Bogdan Mihaila changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |CONFIRMED Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #6 from Bogdan Mihaila --- Can confirm that the bug still exists on Ubuntu. Kate: 17.04.3 KDE Frameworks: 5.43.0 Qt: 5.9.1 This affects all apps using Katepart, e.g. Kmail, Kile, Kate, ... As can be in the attached screenshots at font size 8 the spellcheck markers are shown but as soon as changing the font size to 9 or higher they disappear. The automatic spellchecking is thus not usable on high-dpi systems where font sizes >10 are the norm for text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376565 --- Comment #3 from avlas --- I workarounded the issue by decreasing the font size. Not ideal to have a so small font size, but recovered automatic spell checking :-/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376565 --- Comment #2 from avlas --- I found the root issue. It is due to the font that is being used. The same happens in other applications such as Kate. The reason why this didn't seem to happen is because I use a monospace font in Kate where the bug didn't happen (Hack 10), but it emerge as soon as I changed it to the font of my system (Cabin 11). This bug has been reported against Kate/Kwrite/etc before and it seems to be tagged as fixed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335988 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343313 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366291 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335079 However this is not fixed at all in my system (up-to-date KDE neon User Edition 5.9). It might be a regression... Reading more carefully to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335079 it seems the fix only works in a subset of fonts, perhaps this is enough for Kate as people tend to use monospace fonts (my included) but it's far from ideal for the rest of KDE apps that rely on spellchecking (Kate, Choqok, Konqueror...) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376565 --- Comment #1 from avlas --- I tried creating a new user from scratch for testing purposes and it works. This doesn't seem then a packaging issue, neither an application bug. Most likely this relates to a configuration issue that is making it not working for my (production) user, perhaps something has change between versions and the config files that used to work, stopped working. Following this strategy, I tried to temporarily rename kmail2 files in my home (in .config/.local/.cache) to see if that would fix the issue and identify the problem. Unfortunately this has been unsuccesful so far. I wonder if this may be related to kdepim... Btw, another application that seems to suffer the same (or at least similar issue) is choqok. I'm willing to test further but also a bit out of ideas, so any suggestion on how to test this further will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
