#50499 new enhancement

Slug field should not autocorrect in Quick Edit view

Description (last modified by afragen)

When using the Quick Edit view on a Posts admin page, autocorrect is enabled when editing the slug. This may result in the unintended slugs.

By using spellcheck="false" in the input field, browsers including Safari will no longer autocorrect or spell check the slug field.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket and the patch.

Just noting that per ​MDN web docs, spellcheck="false" appears to be the correct value to disable the check, rather than spellcheck="off".

Thanks for catching that! I wrote "off" in the description erroneously, but the patch has the correct "false".

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 5.8

Just noting that spellchecking was previously enabled for the post title field on Edit Post screen in classic editor, see [30350] / #30338. That appears to be the only instance of the spellcheck attribute in core at the moment.

This ticket suggests disabling it for the post slug field in Quick Edit on Posts screen.

I don't have a strong preference either way here, moving to the milestone for discussion.
