Gedit's spell check stops in the middle of the document

I am using Gedit to edit some tex files. The spell check underlines a lot of words in the preamble, but after few tens of lines it stops working. Nothing is underlined any longer.

This is super annoying, anybody experienced the same?

Yes. I experience this in Latexilla. Not found a solution for it yet, but it is annoying.


On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], ‘Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?’ I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

So it is not just Gedit related...

I noted that as soon as I edit a line that is not initially checked, the spell checking comes back for that line.

I believe Gedit and Latexilla share a common core. I couldn't really work out why it stopped checking half way through a document. Doesn't happen with some of the online Latex editors. I did sit in IRC for a while trying to drum up some interest. Maybe worth a bug report.

Well they both use enchant for spell check and a subclass of GtkTextView. Though how they use it is quite different.
