I second this. Utterly
worthless. I waited on installing 5.x, until it was a bit more stable, but had a disastrous book in (don't ask) and needed to use Spell-check, for the first time, so installed 5.2.
Was trying to find all instances of "ain't" and replace with "ain't[space]." That's all, no regex, nothin' sexy. Sigil sits there like a dodo. Even if I move the cursor, it won't find the next instance. Moreover, it "lands" the cursor, when it
does move, after some random html tag (usually for a paragraph).
I don't know what is causing this problem, but it's
really, really not working for plain old vanilla word searches. This puppy might go like The Flash for regex (dunno, haven't tried it yet), but for vanilla word searches, it's deader'n Julius Caesar, @user_none, @meme. (JS: can Jing you vid if you need.) For the moment, I'm going to have to explode this sucker, jam it in NoteTab Pro and see if I can fix it that way.
(P.S. -- if we are indeed persisting in adding a spell-checker to Sigil, as I see we are, can we at least add finding the next instance of a purportedly misspelled word to it, so I don't have to sit here and scroll? I feel like I've flashed back in time 20 years. If we're going to have a wp-like feature, can we make it a skosh more usable? Thx. Sorry if I sound cranky.)
