Is there anyway to prevent Spell Catcher X from being enabled for Spotlight text strings? If you start typing in spotlight, especially for an application name where names may not be proper words, Spell Catcher X pops up the dialog window trying to guess at what is being typed and offers various suggestions. This would be annoying enough, but the popup window positions immediately on top of the SPotlight text input field, making it impossible to see what you are typing until you manually close the Spell Catcher X popup. I have tried to reposition the popup but it always reopens on top of the Spotlight input field.

This is annoying enough that if this behavior is not changeable I am ready to remove the application.

Always a good idea to search the forums for the answer to your question.

Thanks I did search the forum, but obviously not the correct incantation of words to get the exact hit.

Adding the System UI Server to the application drawer AND clearing the interactive check mark in the typing tab on the Interactive pane appears to have accomplished what i wanted.

Thanks

The correct incantation was "Spotlight". For me, at least…
