There is spellcheck="false" set on the underlying texarea which was probably to work around some issue. We can remove it but I'm not sure whether spell checking can even work with CodeMirror, those might require a standard <textarea>.

Well. Never refactor/reset standard browser functionality. Removing default user control is a completetly NOGO since ages >25Y i experience. Make all default browser standards available/possible as good you can.

There is an option for EasyMDE/CodeMirror.

spellChecker: If set to false, disable the spell checker. Defaults to true. Optionally pass a CodeMirrorSpellChecker-compliant function.

However it was set to false in history in Gitea code. I do not think it's correct (well, maybe it was somehow correct at that moment, but there is no comment at all). The code was just Copied&Pasted from 2b10fdc4 .

A simple PR can fix this problem (maybe not simple)
