Description

Terms
Behavior

One of the unexpected features of Scribe is that there is the potential to have the normal system spellcheck function while using Scribe (red lines appear under misspelled words). The issue is that this feature seems to be available only when the keyboard is switched to from a system keyboard. When a user returns to the keyboard the feature stops working.

This issue is to find the source of this issue and implement a solution.

Device type

iPhone and iPad

iOS version

I assume this is happening for all versions.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the spellcheck behavior on an iPhone or iPad: switch from a system keyboard to Scribe, leave Scribe, and return to it. Trace the keyboard lifecycle around that transition; done means red spellcheck underlines continue working after returning to Scribe.
