Description
If the DIVs and SPANs is explicitly set to contenteditable="true" (instead of inherited) you get a red squiggly under badly spelled words in the monaco editor. The context menu hides the suggestions - but if that is removed/disabled - the word can be replaced; but even without the replace - the spell lint would be very nice.
Such a "feature" would be VERY nice for .TXT, .MD etc... especially with Chromes "new" enhanced (opt. in) spell checker that also "checks the language".

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a browser with explicitly contenteditable DIVs and SPANs in the Monaco editor, including the context-menu behavior. Determine how browser spell checking and replacement should work for editor content, then verify that misspellings are underlined and suggestions remain usable without breaking normal editing.
