The one I had to enable is in "Language and input settings..." called "Enable spell checking". I'm 100% sure I never turned it off - it just didn't work from when I first installed chrome a few weeks ago (after factory resetting my computer).

fresheneez@: Were you by any chance logged in to Chrome? It is enabled by default, but it is also a synced preference - so if you have turned it off elsewhere, it will end up turned off for any fresh install.

I was. I've never intended to turn it off on any machine, but maybe I did at some point by mistake?

If you make a fresh chrome install and do not sign in, does spellcheck end up turned on or turned off?
