[Qt-creator] SpellChecker: Underline Spelling mistakes

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, I am planning to create a release again with the
latest changes with the release of the next Creator.

Since I was not getting the desired result I did not push my changes to the
repository, I will attempt to upload it later today or tomorrow.

Regards

Sorry somehow i clicked on Send button a little too early, so can you share
code which you are using to highlight a text block?
