There are three DIC files in my "C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X" folder. When I look at them with a hex editor, two of them I can more or less understand: after some header info, they are simply 52-bytes sequences of words (with some attending data for each word, most of which are NULLs).
When I look at my "USUser.dic" file, however, the attending data contains mangled up snippets of my source code:
checkbox Limit :ODynaset:GXKBKS dCo nt :ODyn
("Limit", "ODynaset", and "ODyn" are words I recognize from my source code.)
Hey, maybe that's why the spell-checker has lately started ignoring the words I add? I've added the word "it's" about a dozen times so far, to no avail - it keeps marking it as red underlined.
So I exited the IDE, deleted the "USUser.dic" file, restarted the IDE, and added a few words, but I get the same thing. Anyone else seeing this in their "USUser.dic" file, or is it just me?

Yes, me too. I've got stuff like
ifRPRS^@}
return ^@^@^@^@^H^@^@^@subdomain^@rue;
in there (where ^@ is a null byte). Buffer overflow?
But I think the reason you can't add "it's" too the dictionary is that the spell checker thinks that "it's" is two words. That's why it underlines the ve of "we've". |

Buffer overflow sounds right to me, or just stale data somewhere...
Maybe "it's" was a bad example. I have the same issue with "overrideables", "logfile", "checkbox", etc. And "it's" is actually *in* the USUser.dic file when I examine it... |

Any news on this? I am completely unable to add words to the dictionary. The red underlines go away, but as soon as I restart the IDE, they're back.
Is everyone seeing this? Wait - is anyone *not* seeing this?

We intend to swap our spell engine in the next few builds -- probably in the build after the next General Release. We expect within a week or two.
Among other things, the new spell engine will support a user dictionary in plain text. One word per line. What a concept!
Hence, we're ignoring this problem for now.  |

What, you couldn't find a spell-checker that stores its dictionary compressed and encrypted, for added speed and security?

| Actually, the main dictionaries are condensed. If all goes well, we drop our installer by 500K+. |

Larry: do you have the latest build? The user dictionary was installed read-only in previous builds, hence nothing was ever written to it...
Good to hear that the spell checker will be replaced. I guess that means we'll finally be able to use genitives with apostrophes, and won't get "compatability" offered as a correction anymore. :) |
