Speaking of that, I've had an unexpected behaviour (not using the word "bug" :) that I never really understood.

If I set the language to be Automatic by Language, and I spell using British English spelling, all British English spelled words get underlined. That's even if I disabled other variants of English from the System Preferences (Language & Text → Text → Spelling → Setup..., I uncheck everything but British English). For the words that get underlined, the spell checker doesn't suggest any correction though (by right click or by calling a Check Spelling command), which tends to show those words are recognised as valid even if they're underlined. If I change the language from Automatic by Language to British English, everything turns normal. This behaviour happens only with TextMate as far as I know.

Any idea why?

Thanks,
