On a brand new machine (operating Sequoia 15.6.1), I get some undesirable behaviour that I wish to disable.
I wish to globally allow the choice ‘Examine spelling when typing’ to underline misspelled phrases. However in my new set up, it mechanically generates pop-ups with spelling strategies when clicking (not proper clicking) the misspelled phrase:
That is undesirable behaviour: spell strategies ought to solely seem on proper click on, as a result of (left) click on is already used for major navigation (inserting the cursor, deciding on textual content, etcetera). How do I flip this off?
This behaviour appears to persist in all applications that use the NSSpellChecker (from the Cocoa textual content system). I shouldn’t have the identical behaviour on my earlier machine (operating Monterey 12.7.6): I’ve double-checked that each one (seen) settings are similar to my earlier set up, and there I solely see the purple dashed line and never the popup. It’s doable that I needed to take some steps to disable it on my prior set up, however I didn’t doc what I did, and can’t discover any recommendation on the web.
I’ve discovered this query on the Apple discussions discussion board and this query on reddit, each suggesting this function might need been launched in Sonoma. However I additionally discovered this query on Ask Completely different displaying that this function existed lengthy earlier than Sonoma. Has it been merged with the ‘Examine spelling when typing’ setting since Sonoma? Why do I not see it on my outdated set up however am I unable to disable it on Sequoia?
I’ve requested the identical query on TeX SE, the place it was defined to me that this behaviour is OS-wide, so it appears higher to ask right here as a substitute.
