This code was introduced more than 5 years ago (before System Settings option which is why I refered to the commit) and then patched and patched to include various KSpell and Sonnet... Why would a programmer overwrite System Settings options nowadays? Is there a use case for this? Is the above function used somewhere? If yes, can you hint for a proper fix? Currently, the user global settings are ignored which I find pretty bad (and that was brought from a KNotes user who has all his notes with red underline at each start and found this very annoying).
