Spell check and visible text

Postby RSteinwand » Tue Jul 26, 2011 9:35 am

Hi Albert.

I've never done this before, but decided to run a spell check on our blog, to which 5 other people contribute and I thought might have a LOT of items that needed checking.

After about the 5th word it stopped on a hyphenated word, (un-professional) and "un" was highlighted as suspect, but the "professional" part was off the right screen and I had to cancel the spell check to see the rest of the word. The horizonal position for this word was 416 and I have my line length set quite large at 3000, if that matters.

FWIW, this is something I've noticed in Dreamweaver and other editors as well, so not just CSE. I bugged it but it was too late in development to add. In my expectation, a found word or phrase should be no closer than an inch from any border, preferably centered. In other words, ideally I should be able to see several words before and after any highlighted text.

EDIT: Just checked more words and this time "sweatshirts" was highlighted but only the trailing "s" was visible on the screen, although the entire word was visible in the Spelling dialog.
