When compiled with the 'spell' USE flag enabled hexchat spell checking does not work, you need to additionally emerge enchant as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge hexchat with the 'spell' USE Flag 2.Enable spell checking in Settings ‣ Preferences ‣ Interface ‣ Input box Actual Results: Spell checking does not highlight misspelled words nor does it offer spelling suggestions. Expected Results: Misspelled words should be underlined in red and right clicking them should show suggestions. Installing app-text/enchant-1.6.0 fixes this issue, the hexchat documents do suggest installing enchant if you have issues with spell check.The 'spell' USE flag should pull in enchant as a dependency. https://hexchat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tips.html#unix
