Editor 5.4 spell-check problems
Adepters,
We're planning to move to Editor 5.4 and during preliminary testing I've noticed some very strange behavior with spell-check when compared to Editor 5.2.
First, it's taking words from one or more adjacent tags, merging them, and highlighting them as a misspelling. Unfortunately, these words would never appear together. For example, our index tagging: <indexterm><primaryentry>Variable</primaryentry><secondaryentry>XYZ</secondaryentry></indexterm>. Spell-check is highlighting "VariableXYZ" as misspelled. Of course, I could turn off spell-checking for index entries, but we really want them spell-checked.
Second, it's reported repeated words that have an intervening tag. For example:
Set to <lit>XYZ</lit> to activate this option.
Spell check highlights "to XYZ to" as a repeated word. Again, I could turn off warning about repeated words, but that is something we'd like to know about.
Lastly, in some instances like the index term I showed above spell-check is combining all of the words and reporting that the word is too long.
So, is there some way to configure this behavior? Anyone else experienced this? I checked the help, but couldn't find anything new concerning these new "features."
