[Qt-creator] SpellChecker: Underline Spelling mistakes

[preeteesh kakkar]

Hi Carel,

This is very kool plugin that I would love to use. I compiled your plugin
sources and looked at it, it looks great. I don't see any place in your
code where you are using setExtraAdditionalFormats, I tried adding below
code which highlighting the line in below function and it does works

SpellCheckerCore::addWordsWithSpellingMistakes
{
.....

TextEditor::BaseTextEditorWidget* editorWidget =
qobject_cast<TextEditor::BaseTextEditorWidget*>(d->currentEditor->widget());
    if (words.count() != 0) {

        editorWidget->setHighlightCurrentLine(true);
    }
    else
    {
        editorWidget->setHighlightCurrentLine(false);
    }
.....
}
