[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ] It would be nice to have a checkbox under Tools/Options/Miscellaneous/Spellchecker that disables the spellckecker completely. It can currently be enabled/disabled disabling the module completely, but it requires an ide restart.
A menu entry, keyboard shortcut and/or toolbar button or similar like in MS Word would be useful, so that spellchecking can be toggled quickly.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
Still valid in 8.2 dev Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201607100002)
