Lotus Notes 8.5.1 spell checker minor bug


Tags :


Your users may complain about this issue with the Lotus Notes 8.5.1 spellchecker, as it affects them more. But it will haunt you in the meantime.  It seems the spell check in 8.5.1 has been enhanced (note the ini variable below used to fix this for now) and will not "skip all" for words.

This becomes more of a nuisance than anything.  As an admin you will need to push out a notes.ini variables out until the patch, then removing the variable again later.  This ini variable takes the client back to 8.5 and prior spell checking.
