Spellcheck is automatically turned on for text boxes, but can't be dismissed

When adding a text box to a report, spellcheck automatically analyzes the contents and highlights words not in it's dictionary with the familiar red squiggle. There is no way to dismiss this squiggle, meaning that the highlighting is always present. There is no way to disable spellcheck via options either.

Irritating indeed, but there's a workaround : "Just go to another page and back anytime the line occurs." Found here https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Unnecessary-Autocorrection/td-p/57697

Just tried and it works

any updates on this 3 year old idea? with the amount of customization, company specific terminology, and acronyms used in BI this seems just silly.

I dont need spellchecking personally, please add option to disable. This is very annoying especially if your language is not English.

I agree that we should be able to add names to the dictionary, its very annoying currently because the eye is drawn immediately to the red underscore...

I came here and added a vote, however Amit's comment below is 100% correct and works. Still blame MS for not making it more obvious though ;)

This is a bad issue as company names will be spell-checked during a live presentation and it takes away from the aesthetics of the dashboard. It is very distracting and should be an easy fix
