Hi @Joms_Jose, thanks for reaching out! I completely understand how disruptive it can be when spellcheck isn’t working as expected.

From the screenshot, it seems the red underlines might be coming from your computer’s system settings or another app, rather than Figma’s built-in spellcheck. I’d recommend checking your device’s keyboard autocorrect or spellcheck settings to ensure they’re configured properly.

If the issue persists, feel free to share more details, and I’ll do my best to help you troubleshoot further.

I’m on a Macbook Pro Sonoma 14.7.1 .

I tried turning off the OS spell check.

problem persists

It is actually showing some random string as suggestions in some cases.

Make sure you chose english language in spell check settings

it is. No luck.

or do you mean in OS settings? Tried that too. No luck there either.

Hi @Joms_Jose, thanks for sharing the details.

We’ve noticed that apps like Grammarly or similar spellcheck extensions can sometimes conflict with Figma’s native spellcheck feature. If you have any installed, disabling or uninstalling them might be a good first step to see if they’re overriding the functionality.

Let’s troubleshoot this together:

1. 
   

   Could you let me know if this issue occurs in both the browser and the desktop app? It might also help to test other browsers, like Safari or Firefox, to see if the problem is specific to one browser.

   
   


2. 
   

   Have you tried switching to a different English language setting, like “English (Canada)” instead of “English (United Kingdom)”? That could help us understand if it’s tied to a particular language setting.

   
   


3. 
   

   Does this issue happen only on your current Figma account, or do you notice the same behavior across multiple accounts (if you have more than one)?

   Please try clearing your cache, sometimes clearing the cache can resolve issues.
   
   -For the desktop app: Clear Desktop Cache

   
   

• For browsers, here are guides for each:
  
  
  
  • Google Chrome
  
  
  • Safari
  
  
  • Mozilla Firefox
  
  
  • Microsoft Edge
  
  
  
  

If none of these steps resolve the issue, I can escalate this to our technical quality team for a deeper investigation.

   No luck with other browsers. I am on chrome. Tested on safari and edge. We don’t use desktop version.

   We are on an enterprise license. Other users are also facing the same issue. For both FigJam and slides.
