Title:
  Spellchecker always starts at the beginning of the document

Status in gedit:
  Won't Fix
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  gedit always starts its spell checking from the beginning of the file
  and does not allow you to skip backwards. If you are checking a
  document with lot's of URLs and code there will often be stuff that
  you have to 'Ignore', but you may often 'Ignore' something by accident
  that you should have corrected, and you ten cannot go back. If you
  cancel, you have to start from the beginning again.

  Thunderbird OTOH gets around this by letting you edit the original text while the spellcheck window is open. The problem could be alleviated by a) letting you change things
  like in TB, b) letting you check backwards (like search does) or having spellcheck start from the cursor position and then wrap around.
