Description

### Expected
I would expect the default spell check on my Mac to work as I have set in my Keyboard settings in the Mac app.

### Observed
The spell check will only get one of the misspelled words in a document.

### Reproduced
1. Open a new or old note and create misspellings
2. Look for the right squiggles that highlight incorrectly spelled words

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the issue in a new or existing note on macOS 13.5.2 with app version 2.19, creating multiple misspellings; done means the default Mac spell check highlights each misspelled word rather than only the last one.
