Issue when spell checking words with a ' in them

Hi,

We are trying to upgrade our application to the latest Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX (2025.3.812) and we are experiencing an issue with spell check.

In the latest version words with a ' in them eg "Darren's" are flagged as a spelling mistake as "Darrenss" where the ' is replaced with the letter after it. Even if you click ignore it still replaces the original text with the version with the extra s.

The use of spell check is enforced in our application so this preventing us from upgrading.

You can reproduce the issue on the Telerik spell check demo page here:
https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/spell/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx

Can you please confirm if there is a work around or a fix available?

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for reporting this problem!

I confirmed the issue with the 2025.3.812 build: words containing an apostrophe (for example, "Darren's") were flagged incorrectly and changed to "Darrenss". I was able to reproduce it on the public demo, tracked it down to a regression in the client parsing logic for the badWords payload, and converted the private ticket into a public bug report so it can be followed transparently.

The fix is already in place and will be included in next week’s Service Pack (2025 Q3 SP1), scheduled for Tuesday/Wednesday. Once you update to that version, the spell checker will properly handle possessives and will no longer modify the original text.

As a small note of gratitude for catching and reporting this issue, I updated your Telerik points.
