Nicolae,
I don’t see this behavior with CocoASpell running on El Capitan. For example, when I type
this is a wierd
the word “wierd” is identified as misspelled only when I type the space following “d”.
In the TeXShop edit menu, there are three spelling items, one after another:
Check Spelling
Check Spelling While Typing
Check Spelling Automatically
Is it possible that the final item is checked on your machine? If so,
uncheck the last item and see if that helps.
The “Check Spelling Automatically” item causes the editor to suggest word
completions and alternate spellings while typing, and sometimes to fix things
automatically. This is a feature Apple provides for all programs written in
Cocoa.
I find the feature extremely annoying. I added the menu item
so users could easily turn it off (and not so they could easily turn it on)!
