No luck so far guys with gedit... so I am using vim, my swiss army text editor

There is no longer a spell checker here?

With gedit, use the pull-down menu and select Tools to spell-check highlighted text.

Thanks. But i was referring to the box "Quick Reply" in this forum.

Thought there was a spell checker built-in here. As an alternative, I now acttivate the spell checker of the browser. Remember the "fies" incident recently and the ire of the moderator...

Werner may use a DE Knoppix, and it may have different names for things than the EN version.
I see quick reply is underlining most but not all words as I type..
