           Summary: Kopete Auto Spell Check stops functioning after
                    inputting several spelling mistakes
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Chat Window
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: s0238762 at sms.ed.ac.uk


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

When typing on kopete, after typing a series of 'misspelt' words (about 5-10 in
a row), the auto-spell checking stops working (it no longer highlights spelling
mistakes, including those that have been highlighted already, even though the
'Auto Spell Check' option remains selected). Only way to recover from this is
to dis-select and select it again. 

The thing is, I often type in Greeklish (Greek with Latin characters) with some
of my contacts. This causes the spell checker to stop working on those tabs.
However, since I often slip some english in there, I'd like it to keep working.

It might be a 'feature' as part of some auto-language detection, or to avoid
annoying the user, but it would be nice to have an option to avoid this from
happening (assuming it's not a bug).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a chat window
2. type random letters with spaces (misspelt words) on the chat window.
3. Continue for about 5 or so words

Actual Results:  
After about 5 words the auto spell check highlighting stops working (even those
words that got highlighted before are not highlighted any more)

Expected Results:  
have misspelt words being highlighted under all conditions

I've also tested this on a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.04.1 (under VM) with KDE
4.5.0 from ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
