I'm so frustrated with desktop clients that are just chrome wrappers for web clients and BLOCK THE OS API SPELL CHECKER AND OTHER RELATED FUNCTIONS THAT MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AAAAAUGH

@mawr what OS?

@Daxarhagron OS X

@mawr I know spell check is working in Chrome in Win10 but didn't notice it in Safari or Chrome just now

@Daxarhagron Google decided to roll their own-- none of the text replacement functions or OS based spellchecker work

In Chrome proper they have their own spell check built in, and I have plugins that do a lot of the things that OS X does natively, but in Chrome wrapper apps like the Discord app, or the "Telegram Desktop" app, you don't get that option. You're just stuck with nothing

@mawr OHHHHHH YEAH I noticed this fucking shit. It took them fucking forever to implement font/UI scaling in Discord and I had to change the CSS to alter fonts which is NOT WHAT A FINISHED APP SHOULD NEED

@mawr LETS CONTINUE TO RAGE

@Daxarhagron AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH D:<

@mawr holy fuck I see what you mean now, typing this from Chrome (whatever's the latest) on OS X 10.12.6. It shows the squiggles briefly but then they disappear.

@Daxarhagron And those squiggles are not from OS X's spellcheck libraries, that's entirely internal to Chrome.

And we wonder why web browsers now have memory footprints averaging in gigabtyes these days... *growl*
