On a brand new machine (working Sequoia 15.6.1), I get some undesirable behaviour that I need to disable.
I need to globally allow the choice ‘Verify spelling when typing’ to underline misspelled phrases. However in my new set up, it robotically generates pop-ups with spelling strategies when clicking (not proper clicking) the misspelled phrase:
That is undesirable behaviour: spell strategies ought to solely seem on proper click on, as a result of (left) click on is already used for major navigation (inserting the cursor, deciding on textual content, etcetera). How do I flip this off?
This behaviour appears to persist in all packages that use the NSSpellChecker (from the Cocoa textual content system). I don’t have the identical behaviour on my earlier machine (working Monterey 12.7.6): I’ve double-checked that every one (seen) settings are similar to my earlier set up, and there I solely see the pink dashed line and never the popup. It’s attainable that I needed to take some steps to disable it on my prior set up, however I didn’t doc what I did, and can’t discover any recommendation on the web.
I’ve discovered this query on the Apple discussions discussion board and this query on reddit, each suggesting this function might need been launched in Sonoma. However I additionally discovered this query on Ask Totally different exhibiting that this function existed lengthy earlier than Sonoma. Has it been merged with the ‘Verify spelling when typing’ setting since Sonoma? Why do I not see it on my previous set up however am I unable to disable it on Sequoia?
I’ve requested the identical query on TeX SE, the place it was defined to me that this behaviour is OS-wide, so it appears higher to ask right here as a substitute.
