Thank you very much, your passage helped me to understand something more:

I'm sorry, I said an inaccuracy earlier. EPUB3 has nothing to do with the problem. The problem was that the metadata language (dc: language) – in my epub3 – was "it-IT" (and not just "it"). But I only have an "it" dictionary, so the Spellcheck Box didn't show me ANY words. So this "error" depended only on me and on the dictionaries installed. Now I have added an "it-IT" dictionary and everything works perfectly.


Then the problem is only one – at least as far as I can verify:

if the metadata language (dc: language) of the epub and the "Defaul Language For Metadata" in Sigil do not coincide perfectly, the jump from the Spellcheck Box to the word in the text (Code View) does not work.



But I have a further question: does the Spellcheck Box have anything to do with the secondary dictionary? (In this case, what's the point of putting the language next to each word in the Box?)
