Spell Check issue with final Greek letter 'ς'

#1

Hello,

Regardless of what dictionary is used, if the Greek character ‘ς’ is the middle or the end of any word, it will always be marked as correct.

This also happens with the default english dictionary and jumbled words with either greek or latin characters. The jumbled words are of course marked as incorrect except in the case above.
In Greek, this character is found exclusively at the end of word, and spell checking with a simple Greek dictionary has no trouble correctly correcting the absence of this character when it’s missing.

Thank you for your time, and happy New Years!

I can confirm this behavior on ST3156 x64 on Windows 7. Tested with the default English dictionary with Plain Text hello helloz helloς helloςz. My guess is that its related to the char scanning technique that ST uses to decide what to send to Hunspell, maybe it has special case handling for some Greek letters, as there doesn’t seem to be anything unusual about this one:
