The preference doesn't seem to have any influence on the spell checking.
After disabling it, spell checking is still active on existing chats and even on chats opened thereafter.

The other way isn't working either (ie checking the preferences checkbox won't enable it when it was previously disabled via the context menu).

(Info: disabling the spell checking from the context menu of the input box works as expected).

After discussing this with flo it seems that using the attribute "spellcheck" on a textbox not only allows but even enables spellchecking regardless of the preference setting.

(Ugly) solution: read out the preference setting and enable/disable the spellchecking accordingly. Might require an observer if we want to change setting really globally (ie on all opened conversation as well). Not necessary if it should be possible to change the setting for each conversation individually.

Fixed by https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/b1a595fb0b57 (https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/a9d906cd12be follow-up needed).

https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/506f5a2b6f16 fixed the same issue in the edit topic notification bar, and https://hg.instantbird.org/instantbird/rev/37e666710b9b added spellchecking in the status inputbox (at the top of the buddy list).
