The test message works fine here.
The words "emrjj wehj gfdsjkl gf htig fm foo gon joo" are marked as
mis-spelled, and the words "this is a test of the broadcast system
after while, doesn't seem to mee TI" are spelled ok.
After fm is typed as-you-type spell checking is disabled as about 30%
of unique words of spelled incorrectly.

This sounds like a bug that was in the 3.2 betas but was fixed for the
final release. It might be worth compiling from source to eliminate
the possibility that distributors released a broken version of KDE.
To debug this kind of thing compile from source and look at:
kdelibs/kdeui/ksyntaxhighlighter.* and kspell.*
You could be running a different version of the code or in some way
your distribution is configured differently from people like myself
who aren't experiencing problems.
I suggest compiling from source (with debug enabled). If you or
someone can reproduce a problem in a source compile with debug
symbols I might be able to help.
Don.
