Bug#626308: gedit: No spellcheck in the GNOME 3 version

[Hongzheng Wang]

Package: gedit
Version: 3.0.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I know most of the GNOME 3 packages are still in experimental and are
not ready for daily use.  I just want to report a bug of gedit to see if
it is a known problem as I did not find it in upstream bug database.

Specifically, the 3.0.0 version of gedit appears to be incapable of
doing spellcheck.  In the Preferences->Plugins tab page, turning on/off
of spellcheck plugin makes no difference to the behavior and its
preferences button is inactive all the time.  Moreover, it seems that
other plugins shipped do not work as well. 

Thanks.

HZ
