Hrm... OK,
I didn't think it would matter if I used the SVN version, but either way, I just installed SVN 7730 and there seems to be no mention of the spell checker plugin. here's a list of the plugins directory, ~/Desktop/codeblocks/trunk/src/plugins:
abbreviations
astyle
autosave
classwizard
codecompletion
compilergcc
contrib
debuggergdb
defaultmimehandler
headerguard
loghacker
Makefile
Makefile.am
Makefile.in
modpoller
openfileslist
projectsimporter
scriptedwizard
tidycmt
todo
xpmanifest
there is nothing in here that sounds like a spell checker, there is also no mention of the spellchecker within codeblocks, nor is there any spell checking going on in my comments... any ideas where I can get the spellchecker plugin?
