It seems I can disable check spelling only on documents with size over 1MB

I created a document document slightly smaller than 1 MB, spellcheck is forced and i can't disable it. Added some lines to exceed 1 MB, now spellcheck disappear, I can enable it but is not saved.

In Ubuntu Mantic changing default with
"gsettings set org.gnome.TextEditor spellcheck false"
spellcheck on document is removed and can be temporarily changed on document but is not remembered saving the document.

This bug is invalid, I was using the context menu instead the view options and I was misled by the fact the option 'Check spelling' is present twice with different behaviors.

Changed in gnome-text-editor (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid
