[Tex/LaTex] Texmaker: Check Spelling – Always Ignore

macspellingtexmaker

For the first time I have used the Edit > Check Spelling feature on Texmaker to extensively check a large document. During the process, I have clicked the Always ignore button for some words. Now, those words are as if in the dictionary and are not properly checked for spelling. Here is an example:

Texmaker spell check.

The rel and res words are not correct and should be red underlined. Texmaker must have added those words to some file without my knowledge–I though the always ignore option was for that session only. I did this on a previous version of Texmaker on Mac OS Snow Leopard. I've reinstalled to the most recent version (4.0.2) and the problem persists.

I guess that the underlying TeX engine has nothing to do with this.

Anything to do with Hunspell?

How can I fix it?

The "always ignored words" are stored in the Texmaker configuration file. "Options" -> "Settings file" -> "reset settings".

And, if you want to ignore a word for only one document, just use the "ignore" button and not the "always ignore" one.
