Can't deactivate Spell Check

Can't deactivate Spell Check

Hi Community,

right now I'm using the Zoho Mail Desktop-Software. So far, so good.. many possibilities. Overall very nice.

What is extremely annoying right now, is that we are not able to deactivate the Spell Check feature. And we are barely able to focus on writing an e-mail, because everything is covered in red.

Of course Settings -> Compose -> Spell Check -> Not checked

I tried to switch the language. I tried to click on the Spell Check Button within the compose window.

Nothing works. The latter of the two, erases nearly every underline, except for about three, but after writing another word, it's all covered in red again.

Really frustrating. Is there maybe something we are missing? Is it a known bug? Or can we, maybe, get rid of this function completely?


Kind regards.
