When open the spellcheck window, the dictionary is flagging unrecognized words, but also separately flagging those same words when they occur at the end of a sentence.

For example, it'll flag:

Code:

poolhall

and

Code:

poolhall.

as two separate categories of spelling error.

Obviously this takes the occasional false positive and then doubles it. And that is not doubling my freshness or my fun.

Is there some way to make it stop? The (MUCH) older dictionary would ignore the punctuation and simply return two grouped entries for "poolhall". Will copying the old dictionary file from my pre-2.4.2 upgrade do the trick?
