Spell Check is very inconsistent.

Reported by juliered...@gmail.com, Nov 22 2016 
Chrome Version       : 54.0.2840.99
URLs (if applicable) : spell check in Salesforce
Other browsers tested: 
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari: OK
    Firefox: OK
         IE: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Go to Salesforce. 
(2) Try to send an email with several types of typos. 
(3) 

What is the expected result?
Spell Check should highlight the typos. 


What happens instead?
Spell Check is very inconsistent. Even if you have the same typo in the same sentence, one of the typos will be underlined while the other will not. 

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Which operating system is this on? I cannot reproduce the bug on Chrome 56, on OSX.

Comment 3 by juliered...@gmail.com, Nov 28 2016 

Windows 10. Chrome Version 54.0.2840.99

Do you have "Ask Google for suggestions" enabled? It's in the spellcheck submenu on right-click. I suspect this is due to server-side spellcheck.

Comment 5 by juliered...@gmail.com, Nov 28 2016 

For the user, "Ask Google for suggestions" was enabled. Disabling it did not fix the issue.

Regarding inconsistent spellcheck: This is caused by "Ask Google for suggestions", which needs several valid words in order to start checking text. It derives meaning of the sentence based on these valid words. So a sentence like "tst" would not make sense. Therefore, it's waiting for more text on that line.

Regarding turning off "Ask Google for suggestions" not helping: Chrome re-checks spelling of text when user changes or clicks on it. If you delete the whole text and re-type it, for example, then Chrome will underline all instances of "txt" (given that "Ask Google for suggestions" is turned off).

Perhaps a good improvement to the spellcheck would be to automatically turn off "Ask Google for suggestions" for the short sentences that we know won't be contextually spellchecked well?
