Curious - what difference would that make?
Does not flag many UK spelling. (look at UK.jpg and US.jpg)

I use the Reports tool to look for unexpected Words and Characters before I spellcheck. Where unexpected varies depending on genre e.g. I wouldn't expect to find a '~' in novel but it might be legit in an economics text to mean approximate.
Guess I could / should do that

Seems you're using a small screen. You might want to get a tool that will let you rollup the spellcheck window after you double click into the code window. On Windows I use Actual Tools Buttons, it's not free but it's worked for me since XP days so I'm sticking to it. Pretty sure there are zero-cost equivalents these days. To roll up/down I just press Ctrl+Win+R.
27 wide screen

When in edit, and clicking spell check these are the windows layouts, After double clicking first misspelled word (acetones) the code window is positioned with the affected line highlighted and the cursor positioned

If you look at Full.jpg, the spell check window almost always covers the area of interest, requiring me to constantly drag the spell check window around
