Asynchronous spellchecking seems to be quite stable. What's more, it engages both UIProcess and WebProcess (in WK2) to perform spelling. As a result, UI is not blocked when the spelling or grammar is being performed (browsing dictionaries etc). 959541 1 g.czajkowski 2013-12-13 04:35:44 -0800 As far as I know there are three four WebKit ports that implement spellchecking. Port | WK1 sync spell | WK1 async spell | WK2 sync spell | WK2 async -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac | + | + | + | - Gtk | + | - | + | - Efl | - | - | + | + Blackberry | - | + | N/A | N/A Before changes in WebCore I think we should deliver port implementation for asynchronous spellchecking for Mac-WK2 and GTK-WK1/2 (added corresponding bugs). 959615 2 sam 2013-12-13 12:05:00 -0800 This would be great. Is there anything I can do to help get the Mac WebKit2 Async Spell check going? Do you know what aspect is not implemented? 959850 3 g.czajkowski 2013-12-14 11:32:25 -0800 (In reply to comment #2) > This would be great. Is there anything I can do to help get the Mac WebKit2 Async Spell check going? Do you know what aspect is not implemented? I'd be glad if you could take over bug 125690. I tried to summarize what should be done there. However, Enrica explained some time ago that there are some issues with Mac spelling/autocoration (details at bug 93611, comment 24.)
