Needs VotesSpellcheck is automatically turned on for text boxes, but can't be dismissed

When adding a text box to a report, spellcheck automatically analyzes the contents and highlights words not in it's dictionary with the familiar red squiggle. There is no way to dismiss this squiggle, meaning that the highlighting is always present. There is no way to disable spellcheck via options either.

Most folks building dashboards are going to use acronyms, etc., that won't match any dictionary. Should be able to either add "words" to dictionary, or dismiss the spellchecker.
I realize that the red underscoring disappears when the dashboard is being used. . . but that doesn't mean I want or need the software to do my thinking for me or decide for me what is / is not spelled correctly.
feature should toggle on/off at user's discretion . . . and allow user to add "words" to the dictionary

Irritating indeed, but there's a workaround : "Just go to another page and back anytime the line occurs." Found here https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Unnecessary-Autocorrection/td-p/57697
Just tried and it works

I still have the same problem

any updates on this 3 year old idea? with the amount of customization, company specific terminology, and acronyms used in BI this seems just silly.

I dont need spellchecking personally, please add option to disable. This is very annoying especially if your language is not English.

I agree that we should be able to add names to the dictionary, its very annoying currently because the eye is drawn immediately to the red underscore...

is it posible to choose the autocorrect language in powerBI or configure it any way ?

I came here and added a vote, however Amit's comment below is 100% correct and works. Still blame MS for not making it more obvious though ;)
