Mon 16 May 2016 04:16:05 PM UTC, comment #2: This bug is old -- it exists since at least nano 2.2.1. But before, when the file was still partitioned when doing spell fixes, it was more subtle: it would simply not find misspelled words when they were preceded on the same line by a bigger word that contained the misspelled word. But nowadays, not finding a misspelled word at all is a mayday. |

A simpler reproduction recipe is: run nano and type this phrase:
The dummy is too dumm.
Then type ^T. In older nanos (using the internal spell checker), it will just say that spell checking has finished -- it finds nothing wrong. In current git, it will correctly highlight the last word and ask for a replacement for "dumm".
