RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The Tools->Check Spelling menu item should keep being greyed out when there is seemingly all correct in the text and get activated otherwise. However this behavior is not always consisted. It is very easy to confuse it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gedit-3.6.1-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I.e.:
1. Open Gedit (greyed)
2. Into the empty text area type i.e."hhhhhhhh" (active - correct)
3. Delete all text (greyed again - correct)
4. Now type i.e."hhhhhhhhh" again, you can even hit enter afterwards
  
Actual results:
Now it keeps greyed out - can't activate spell checker even if we have the same nonsense there like the first time.

For me the option is grayed out only when doc is empty and there is actually nothing to check.

I believe this is fixed by rebased gedit.

Cannot reproduce with gedit-3.14.3-1.el7.x86_64

According to comment 3, comment 4 and my verification in gedit-3.14.3-7.el7.x86_64 the bug is fixed. Also, the reproducer has been incorporated into our gedit test plan.
