Spell Checker doesn’t work for Visual Basic

created 4 years ago (modified 4 years ago)

[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM T979178: Spell Checker does not mark misspelled words in the code editor for Visual Studio 2019 v.16.9.0]

Andrew: All settings for the Spell Checker are default. I have tried toggling the various Spell Check settings, but there has been no difference. Restarting VS makes no difference. All projects written in VB have this issue.

I'm currently using VS version 16.9.3. The issue was resolved when you posted the hotfix available earlier in this thread (20.2.8.21064), but with the official release of 20.2.9 the problem has returned, except a little worse. Before it was just the red squiggly lines in the code view that were missing, however a warning of the misspelled word was available in the Error List. Now I'm missing both the red squiggly lines and the warning in the Error List.

I tried to uninstall 20.2.9 and reinstall 20.2.8.21064, but CodeRush does not load at all when I do that. So I appear stuck on 20.2.9. Let me know if you need any further details.

        Jeremiah,

        I reproduced this issue. As a workaround for now, please disable the "enable 'pull' diagnostics (experimental, requires restart)" option in the Visual Studio settings as in the picture below. This option is on the "Options->Text Editor->C#->Advanced" settings page, but it seems to affect the Visual Basic editor as well. After you disable this option, restart your Visual Studio instance and you should see that spell checker squiggles are back.

          Przemyslaw,

          Thank you for the suggestion. While disabling "enable 'pull' diagnostics (experimental, requires restart)" alone did not work for me, it did work once I disabled "Enable Razor 'pull' diagnostics (experimental, requires restart)".
