Microsoft Editor does not work

As the title states, if you have the Microsoft Editor enabled in Edge (this appears to be any version from Stable to even Canary), no spell or grammar check will work at all. If you enable the standard editor, you will get at least spell check back.

 

This screenshot is with the MS Editor enabled - it seems to know what is spelled incorrectly but gives you zero suggestions.

And here is the standard spell check working as it should.

 

Testing in Edge stable 136.0.3240.50 + Dev 137.0.3282.1

      The bug has been fixed in the latest release and I can confirm it's now working properly!

      Hi Kelly, Is there a workaround for this? Acknowledging the bug is great but is what can be done in the interim until a fix in pushed to the UI?  Thanks

        Switch to "Basic" in the language settings then right click to spellcheck works again, just not as intuitively. We don't know if there is a GPO to do it but with the patch is coming in a week we're going to just let it be until it resolves itself.

      Hi Kelly, Is there a workaround for this? Acknowledging the issue was great, but how do we move around it until an update to the software is pushed to the UI? Thanks

        For now you can turn it off and flip back to "basic" and you will at least get spelling correction back
