Hi @AlKa,

Thanks for the report.

How can I save the settings, e.g. permanently deactivating the “automatic spell-checking”?

There is an “Automatic Spell Checking” button in:

Tabbed View:

  • “Review” tab.

Compact View:

  • Tools > Automatic Spell Checking

Currently I have to deactivate this setting every time I open a document.

Hmmm. I tested this on:

  • COOL 22.05.13

and it seemed to save my selection.

Can you test on the latest version and let me know if it’s still an issue?

Thanks. :slight_smile:

Could you upgrade to the latest and let me know?

(Perhaps your issue got fixed since November 2022!)

Q2: firefox

And which version of Firefox is it?

@AlKa The way Collabora Online can store this setting is via saving it to the browser’s local storage (the entry for the setting is named SpellOnline). As long as that persists, the setting is stored. It seems when you log out, the local storage is wiped, that’s why the setting gets lost.
