Comment(by garycmartin):

 Replying to [comment:7 godiard]:
 > Probably is not a regression against 12.1.0, but spell checking was a
 feature in older sugar versions.

 To my knowledge spell checking had been disable for past OLPC releases,
 there are plenty of email threads and blog posts out there for those that
 wanted to tinker and re-enable. Perhaps some deployments customised this
 aspect of their builds. From what I can remember of the original
 discussions, it was disabled based on lack of good free multi-lingual
 dictionaries, vs storage space, vs properly implementing the feature in
 Write (e.g. UI for getting suggestions, adding to and editing a local
 users dictionary), vs pedagogical discussion about how highlighting of
 spelling mistakes (and suggesting the correct spelling) may actually be
 re-enforcing spelling errors (I din't follow the complete argument there).

 +1 for disabling the spelling detection until we have more time to land
 the feature and test it correctly.
