Spell check not working

[halfmanli]

Describe the bug

With incocrret words as input, the VSCode editor does not perform spell check. Usually, blue wave underlines as such below image are shown, but they suddenly disappear hours ago.

Expected behavior

At the Overleaf web editor, we can see error tips.

Environment

• Overleaf Workshop Extension version: [0.14.1]
• VS Code version: [e.g. 1.94.1]
• Overleaf Edition: Official

Actually, I was working on an Overleaf project now, with the spell check on. It does work, though not perfectly.

Please firstly check if you enable the spell check on the status bar.

Sure, I've checked this multiple times by turning it off and on. Here's my status bar: But this still not works. The spell check works very well until hours ago.

I see. So the problem is trying to read a non-existing diagnostic. I will try to reproduce your situation later today.

If possible, please also provide a minimum tex file example to reproduce the situation. Thank you!

It seems every project is influenced by this bug. For example, I build a new project with the template from: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/ieee-conference-template/grfzhhncsfqn . The same error arises: I really appreciate for your help!

It turns out the Official Overleaf Website has offloaded the spell check function to the front-end (i.e., the web browser now do spell check alone without the help from the server), and does not provide spell check function any more.

Please try to use local replica following the guidance here, and refer to local spell check extensions. We have no plan to provide another spell check module.

Update: This change may affect the later community editions. If anyone is interested, please help update the affected versions in the README.
