Description

Environment
  • TeXstudio: 2.12.10
  • Qt: Qt 5.11.1 R
  • OS: Ubuntu 18.10
Problem

Recently I had misspelled a preposition (wrote "un" instead of "und") and TeXStudio did not mark it as mistake. I noticed that any word consisting of two letters is not spell checked.

Expected behavior

Please invoke the spellchecker for words consisting of two letters or make it optionally configurable if you have reasons not to do it by default.
