Disable built-in spell checking on Ice Cream Sandwich


So this is a fairly odd problem: I am currently working on an app using the latest SDK/ADT with my android:minSdkVersion set to 8.



When the app is deployed onto an ICS device (Galaxy Nexus), android is adding red-squiggly underlines to words it thinks are miss-spelled in TextView widgets.



See screenshot: Galaxy Nexus TextView with spellcheck



The layout in question:




<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:editable="false"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:text="This is a test of a TextView showing the spell checking when it shouldn&apos;t. Phunware.com loves the game Baldr Force. Funimation.com"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" >
</TextView>

</LinearLayout>



I have tried adding android:editable="false" to the widgets, with no effect.

  1. It looks like if you have the android:inputType specified, this enabled spell check on a widget. Oops!

  2. The way to disable it is to set inputType to "textNoSuggestions"

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
