Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

Although mostly an annoyance, the spell checker tests words within comments:
//
or
/* */

An option Spelling:Options: "Ignore words within comments" would be nice.


Reproducible: Always

Why would you not want to have the comments spell checked?
Comment 2 Mark Richards CLA 2011-01-12 10:54:48 EST 
Because doing so serves no purpose.

Sure it does: it serves the purpose of not having typos in the comments.

Aren't comments the only thing that's spell checked?

Yes, but I think he refers to code comments vs. Javadoc comments.
