Spellcheck not visible when highlight is on

I am using Google Chrome last version, on Windows 10.

When i turn of the syntax highlight the spellchecker turns off (no wiggly red underline). This for me renders the whole thing unusable, as I make intensive use of spellchecker.

Also, navigation using [HOME] and [END] keys takes the cursor at the end of the parragraph instead the end of the line, which is inconsistent with the previous behaviour

Thanks for reporting this! We've got a ticket open for this issue -- phab:T95104 -- and we'll see how we can fix this.

I have the same problem with Forefox on Mac. ~~~~

Firefox, that is, of course - but I don't appear to be able to edit my comment on this strange page.

I also came here to report the same thing in Firefox. Syntax highlighting is nice, but spell-checking is vital.

Hello all. We have a possible fix for this issue. You can test it out on this page. It's not deployed anywhere as yet. There are some known issues with it which you can read about on phab:T95104. Feel free to comment there directly. Thanks.

The fixes my issues with Firefox. Looking forward to seeing it rolled out..

Yes, fixes my Firefox spellchecker so I'm looking forward to seeing it rolled out too. Otherwise this useful feature is unusable for me as I'm dyslexic

@Pontificalibus, I believe this was rolled out in October. Are you still having problems with your spellchecker and syntax highlighting?

It seems that whenever one presses the return (ENTER) key, the underline on spellchecked word disappears. It reappears if arrow keys are used to navigate back to the line. Maybe there is a way to force it to redraw the browser surface whenever one presses enter?

Also for whatever reason in firefox keyboard shortcuts aren't being processed properly, it writes the very last letter after a keyboard combination, e.g. alt shift KEY. The shortcut seems to still work though. Maybe it is missing the event.preventdefault or codemirror is blocking it for some reason on firefox.
