Rerendering problem: misspelled words flicker while typing elsewhere

See original GitHub issue

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

A bug

What’s the current behavior?

As you type, in a spellchecked field, the red underlines flash/flicker as content changes.

flash

OS	Browser
macOS High Sierra	Chrome 63.0.3239.132

What’s the expected behavior?

Misspelled words should have a constant, not flashing or flickering, red underline.

It seems like this may have been caused by the removal of isNative? (https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/issues/829#issuecomment-303847090)

My bad about Draft.js - must have been an earlier version. But Medium on Safari 11.0.1/macOS 10.12.6 still does that:

Excuse the delay @gregoryforel, I am very busy at the moment!

Looking at your codesandbox quickly, I see the problem but am not exactly sure what’s causing it. Here’s a quick workaround though.

// before
setSpellCheckEnabled(containsWhiteSpaceAndPunctuation)

// after
requestAnimationFrame(() => setSpellCheckEnabled(containsWhiteSpaceAndPunctuation))

Hope this helps!
