How do I turn off the spell checker?

[Woligi]

I see red underlines everywhere when using the Steam Client.

When typing a word that doesn't exist in the English language, Steam shows that it's wrong.
I haven't seen any spell checking option in the settings and I don't know how to turn it off.

It's only in the Steam client.
Spell-check is turned off in the Windows settings, as well as the Google Chrome settings.
I only see this happen in the Steam client.

You can check through your steam client on news > steam client > updates for more information.

I've looked through the recent updates, and I cannot find anything about spell-check.

"Updated the web control to CEF version 41.0.2272.104"
CEF = chromium embedded framework. steam uses chromium for browsing stuff, chromium is also used by google chrome for example, but both are totally independant and modified for their needs.

they probably just forgot to disable the spellchecking while updating the framework.

Afraid not, but I do agree with you. It is very annoying.

It even "corrects" stuff that isn´t wrong. Stuff that ends on "´ve".
Please let us turn it off ~_~

It doesn't correct anything for me.

Plus, there's no words that ends with "´ve." There's even no words that has ´ in them.
I guess you meant an apostrophe.

Change the system language, possibly?
Anyway, I hope Valve fixes this soon...

Me Three, looks like they added this again for some reason or forgot to remove it?
Either way, making something OS Language based with no way to change it is always a bad design decision.

color - Wrong
colour - Correct

Makes perfect sense; the system seems to favour/favor the Canadian and British spellings before the American ones, which is a bit of a surprise*.
Though I do sort of want there to be a spell checker to some extent that would at least try to resolve when people end up anti-capitalizing words like "tHIS"; It should be fairly obvious that they were actually wanting to write "This" instead, in almost every situation; as long as it doesn't forcibly change anything. Just give the author a discreet heads up instead and that'll be enough.

While things like these *should* be possible to program and distinguish out, especially since it's something that Microsoft Word has accomplished already, not every theoretical spelling-filter is. But they should probably make up their mind about leaving the system in or not.

i saw alot of sucessful advices about editing some steam files in notepad to get rid of spellchecking, did you try searching through this forum?
