Can't disable spell checker when or after using dev tools

[XVonRad]

🐞 bug report

✍️ Description

My page has non-english words. The spell checker is activated as soon as I open dev tools. The red squiggly red lines under unrecognized words ruin the page rendering. From then on only a full refresh will deactivate the spell checker.

✄1�7 Describe the solution you'd like

A setting where spell check can be turned on and off

✍️ Describe alternatives you've considered

Disabling spell checking at OS level (Windows 10 in my case).

🕵🏼‍♂︄1�7 Is this a regression?

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

Maybe we can play around with the spellcheck prop of BrowserWindow and webview (webpreferences)
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/spellchecker

win = new BrowserWindow({
  spellcheck: false,
  .....
});



<webview
    webpreferences="spellcheck=no"
    ....
/>

Hi @jjavierdguezas
I've uploaded a screen video showing that once I've click Enable Design Mode, the spell checker activates and stays on after I disable Design Mode.
Note: I never even wanted to enter design mode actually. It's just that I more often than not click on it because it's so close to 'Inspect Element' . If the button bar layout was different I'd probably never have had this issue!

I see it now @XVonRad .. yes I think that a toggle in user preferences to activate/deactivate spell checker will be useful
