I've just installed Sigil 0.9.6.
OS: Windows 7 64-bit

I'm editing an .epub file. The editor itself is working fine, but the spell-checker doesn't appear to be doing anything. I'm editing a fantasy book, which needless-to-say has *many* words that are not in the standard dictionary, but nothing is highlighted at all. I also changed a normal word to be wrong (in case it was doing some wise thing to guess names that it shouldn't spell-check), but that didn't get highlighted either.

I looked under Preferences:Spellcheck Dictionaries; it has:
Dictionary: en_US
default dictionary is enabled
"Highlight misspelled words" is checked.

What is wrong??
