    I use version 7.8.5 on windows 10. My spell-check highlighting does not immediately work. If I misspell a word it will not be underlined until I change tabs to another file and come back. It does know of the misspelling immediately; if I right-click on the word it gives me a list of choices in the pop-up menu, even though it was not underlined.

      By the way, this used to work for me. It stopped working after a new notepad++ version I think, but I don’t recall which. Its been roughly a year I guess.

        Assuming you’re using DSpellCheck ? What version - the latest? Confirm with Plugins=>Plugins Admin… Updates tab; if there is a newer version available it will list here. Also, please tell us the version you are using:

        Plugins=>DSpellCheck=>About.

        It could be DSpellCheck settings. I have it set to check all files *.*, but also to “In code, check only” comments and strings. I don’t know how DSpellCheck determines what’s code and what’s not unless it’s looking at the N++ language selected for the given file.

        In short, we need a bit more info to help:

        ?=>Debug Info
        Plugins=>DSpellCheck=>About

        Maybe a screenshot of the file you’re editing with misspellings, not highlighted?

        Cheers.

            I just updated DSpellCheck to version 1.4.15.0; the problem went away. Sorry for the bother.

              No worries!! Glad it worked out. I believe 1.4.16 is the latest DSpellCheck available for Notepad++ 7.8.7. But as long as it’s working - stay where you are!

              Cheers.
