PLEASE update the forum's dictionary to include the word LabVIEW!

On one occasion I found that the spell checker still wanted to replace LabVIEW with labile. This was a reply that I just composed 2 minutes ago. When I spell-checked this post it didn't complain.

Update: I did a quick test of initiating a reply in that same thread, and in the body of the reply all I entered was the word "LabVIEW". When I clicked "Check Spelling", it said "LabVIEW" should be "labile". When I do the same thing on another thread, the spell-checker does not complain.

Well that's strange - were your replies on different boards?  It certainly shouldn't matter of course.

Thanks,

No, they were in the same board - the LabVIEW board. Did you try to create a reply to that thread to see if you could reproduce the issue? You don't actually have to post the reply - all it took was to be in the editor.

I tried it in this board but it worked the way I expected.  I also think I may have told it to remember LabVIEW so I am not sure that I am a reliable test case.  Has anyone else had problems with "LabVIEW" now that the spell checker is updated?

smercurio - If you capitalize LabVIEW differently, the spell checker may still pick it up.  I just got the suggestion for "labView".  Could that be where the issue is?

Thanks,

It does appear to be a capitalization issue. It's complaining about the word "Labview" in the message subject. I had spelled it (correctly capitalized) as "LabVIEW" in the message body. I had not noticed that it was highlighting a word in the subject. I guess I was just so surprised to see that dialog come up in the first place after you had indicated that you had updated the dictionary, that I didn't bother to see where it was pointing to for the "misspelled" word.

I guess now we can all argue on what "misspelled" means.
