The as-you-type spell checking feature has an auto-disable feature 
that automatically disables as-you-type spell checking when more than 
33% of words typed were not recognized. 

The as-you-type item in the options menu doesn't override this. So if 
more than 33% of words typed were not recognized and the menu item is 
turned on, it just briefly enables as-you-type spell checking and 
then it automatically gets disabled.

I think you are finding this behavior confusing.

If you update kdelibs/kdeui then I've increased the percentage of 
unrecognized words before as-you-type spellchecking is disabled from 
33% to 42%.

After updating you will also be able to edit 
~/.kde/share/config/kdegloabls and in the [KSpell] section add a 
KSpell_AsYouTypeDisablePercentage=101
entry to force as-you-type spell checking to never be automatically 
disabled.

Don.
