WPF TextBox SpellCheck and Keyboard Language Problem (Bug?)

H-S
Help!

I am trying to use the Windows.Controls.TextBox with spellcheck turned
on. It works fine if my keyboard input language is set to English
(United States). But the spellcheck starts to get confused when set
to Engish (United Kingdom). Basically parts of words spelt correctly
get underlined, it is though it has got confused over where words
begin and end.

I have tried un-installing and reinstalling .NET. And tested on 5
different machines (XP, and Vista) and all exhibit the problem, and
yet I can't find anything on google. Am I missing something obvious?

Try it - create a page add a textbox, set SpellChecking.IsEnabled =
true and run it with different keyboard input settings.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Have a look at your culture settings in control panel, see if it matches
your application settings.
