Summary: Server spell checker doesn't work in textarea if last line is a URL (was: Spell checker doesn't work in textarea if last line is a URL)
This is true only for server spellcheck, i.e., "Ask Google for suggestions"/"Use a web service to help resolve spelling errors."

Server-side issue likely, b/33075084

I don't have serverside spell check enabled yet noticed the same issue. The simplest test case is to load test.html file as:
<textarea rows=10 cols=80>
Teh tset.
http://www.google.com</textarea>

Versus test2.html:
<textarea rows=10 cols=80>
Teh tset.
</textarea>

The latter will have squiggly lines, the former won't.

Any traction on this? Very annoying to say the least!
A minor improvement has been implemented: if you put a period after your sentence (before the URL), it will be spellchecked. More fixes coming in the upcoming months.

Fixed:
Correctly checkedd. http://crbug.com/667653

Still a problem:
