Spell as you type

I'm using the WinForms .Net PinEdit sample and I cannot get the spell-as-you-type to work properly. The red-wavy lines only appear after I click the spell button twice (once to turn off, once to turn back on). Then, as soon as I type a new word, all the red lines disappear and will not appear again until I click the spelling button twice. I changed the delay to 500 (from the default 1500) but the lines never appear.
What do I need to do to get the red lines to appear as I type?

Hello,
when did you download the evaluation ?
We have updated some days ago.
So, after typing text the spell checker should run again.
Nevertheless we recommend using the spell checker only to check text but not to run it permanently.
There might be issues i.e. when formatting mispelled words.
Regards,
Hans-Peter

I just uninstalled, re-downloaded 5 minutes ago, and re-installed. The problem is the same.
Try it on your end with the vb.net sample. Turn on spell check, you'll see red lines. Type anything (even just a space) and you will see the lines go away. Wait a reasonable time and you will still not see those red lines come back.
If you can reproduce this, any idea how long for a fix? Spell as you type is a major selling point for your product. Without it, pinEdit is much less likely to be used for our project.

Hello,
we downloaded also again and started the demo exe.
If you turn spell checker on you will see some red lines.
If we type the lines do not go away.
But if we stop typing then the speller runs again and highlights all misspelled words.
Which operating system do you use ?

I am not running the exe, I am running it inside VS 2008 (sp1). I am running on Vista x64.
I did a little more testing and here's what I found. I set the project to run as x86 (forcing it into 32-bit mode even on my 64-bit OS). Now, I also see the red lines stay when I type. Something strange about running as 64-bit.
However, there is still a problem in 32-bit mode. Though the existing red lines do stay as I type new words, if I type a misspelled word that new word will not get a red underline until I click the spell check button twice. The seems to be a clear problem with the spell as you type functionality. I would love to see it fixed because I like your control.

I'm sorry but we can not reproduce it.
Did you also try the exe ?

When I try the exe built by you, it seems to work as advertised (red lines show up under new words when you pause your typing). However, when I build the exe from your vb.net source code you provided, even running as 32-bit, I get the problem as I described it.
Is there something wrong with the source of the sample app?

No, the source is correct. When we complie it wotrks as expected.
It seems to be the environment or os that seems to make a difference.
Which Internet Explorer Version do you use ?

Do you have a chance to compile under an XP oder Vista 32 system ?

I need to use it in a project which will be developed under Vista x64 so I guess I will have to find another editor for this project.
