Hey @SLKRadiologie. Welcome to the forum and thanks for the question. 🙂

Sounds like read-only is causing some gremlins. 🙂

Do you happen to have a Github account?

If you do, can you submit an issue to the:

- [“Collabora Online” Github page](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues)

After you submit the issue, the QA team can verify and a dev can look into it.

I suspect it would just require an enhancement to let a user in “read-only mode” turn on/off spellchecking.
