Does spelling and grammar check, but won't update in some frames and text boxes, especially in Blackboard Ultra inline comments and text boxes. When the line to accept the correction is clicked, nothing happens. I decided to post a comment because I sent this issue to the developers over a year ago but never received a response and the issue has not been resolved.

English is acceptable, I suppose, but the grammatical structure and spelling in Dutch leave much to be desired. It would be advisable to eliminate them from your system. Moreover, if my language preferences are set to English, it would be prudent to skip checking Dutch text. It's of no value for Dutch and serves poorly as a multilingual tool.
