Summary [GTK] Misspelt words not updated when dictionary changes

When changing spell checker dictionaries, only newly typed/selected words are checked against the new dicts. Existing text has typos un-highlighted and remain so until selected again. I thought there was some discussion about this as being not a but on the list, but can't find it now. However since it's been reported as a bug in Geary (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713915), I'm forwarding it upstream.

And the workaround that we used in Evolution for that doesn't work for a long time (updating the selection to renew the spellcheck)- see bug 168779..
