Summary0017816: Live spell checker issues related to dictionary encoding
DescriptionI noticed a couple of issues with the new spell checker.

1. If a word contains umlauts—such as an "ö"—and one attempts to correct the word via the context menu, the umlaut appears incorrectly encoded within the suggested correction.

2. Words containing umlauts are erroneously flagged as errors. For example, "Länder" is underlined in red, yet the only correction suggestion provided is incorrect—namely, "Lindernder." The word "wäre" is similarly flagged as an error but offers no correction suggestions whatsoever.

3. While "Länder" is marked as incorrect within the main canvas view, the spell checker accessed via Extras > Check Spelling (Shift + F7) fails to detect this error. Is it possible that two different dictionaries are being utilized here? The issue appears to lie specifically with the live correction feature, given that "Länder" is a standard German word.

4. The red underlining feature does not function correctly for text containing hyphenated line breaks; in such instances, only the text appearing after the line break is underlined.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a new document
2. Add a text field and fill it with example text (German)
3. Select text field and change language to German (Text Properties -> Hyphenation & Language)
