Spell checking in Steam client text fields does not work, or it cannot be disabled!

[Arnulf]

There are always squiggly red lines below words, regardless if they're correct or not.

Also, there is no way to disable spell checking in Settings. So I have to see squiggly red lines under almost every word whenever I input text, like right now, for example!!

I would be very grateful if I could disable spell checking completely for the whole Steam client!

Solution found to disable spellchecking.
Find

C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Steam\htmlcache\UserPrefs.json

Open the file "UserPrefs.json" with a texteditor and

search inside the file for: "dictionaries":["de"]

change it to "dictionaries":[""]

remove the "xx" letters for your language and save the file.

restart steam

done

Still, would be nice to just have a toggle in the settings...
