Description

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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate when the spellcheck redlines appear only after switching keyboards, likely related to keyboard lifecycle events like viewDidLoad vs viewDidAppear, or UITextInput mode changes.
