Jerboa doesn't check spelling as you type (self.main)

Exactly what the title says. I'm not a native English speaker, so almost everything regarding auto-correct and word suggestions is turned off, except for grammar and speeling checks, that is set to underline. Underlining works in every other app, except Jerboa. Why is that?

That's strange. I've just tried and I can confirm it's the same for me.

I'm also on android and for most apps this is something controlled in the system settings and I'm pretty sure is managed by the OS and not individual apps.

I wonder what jerboa is doing differently..

I also notice that the formatting buttons and the second half of the text box go off screen, underneath the keyboard as I type.

I wonder if there's a repo or an issue tracker where we can better report these things?

Yeah, I know, that's why it puzzled me as well, cuz I know it's a system wide setting, not per app.

Maybe it has something to do with the prefered language setting in your profile? Cuz it's set to Undetermined because Lemmy advises to have it set to undetermined. You will only get feeds from that language you chose if you set it to any language, except undetermined.

Yeah, also noticed this, but this is not such a big deal, you swipe up a bit, everything returns to normal. Though, yeah, it would be nice if they stayed right above the keyboard. And the cursor to stay above the formatting buttons as you type and the text transfers to a new row, cuz currently, it goes below the on screen keyboard, lol 😂.

Github repo, but I haven't had time to report this. I was just wondering if this is only happening ony phone or are others having the same issues as well.
