Re: [orca-list] Possible bug with Orca and Pidgin

[Storm Dragon <stormdragon2976 gmail com>]

Hi,
The spell check was on for me by default even though Orca doesn't indicate the mispellings. It's under tools, preferences, in the conversations tab, the highlight mispelled words check box. I have unchecked it and Pidgin hasn't crashed yet.
