spell check partially underlined a word

more options

In the editor, spell check always mistakenly red-underlined a word as mis-spelled. For example the word "involve", it will just underlined just "volve". Then when I correct it, it will change the word to ininvolve. It has been like that since an upgrade (forgot the version). Now I an running 38.0.1 and it still have the same problem. Very ignoring error. I don't find a specific pattern of the error. It seems to be pretty randomly done to 4 or 5 different words every time.

It still happens to me. Any help please?

My guess would be that there is some hidden HTML tag between in and volve in your example, and so Thunderbird thinks they should be checked as separate words. However, I'm not sure of the best way to investigate that or work around it.
