Workarounds:

  1. spellCheckConfiguration: const SpellCheckConfiguration.disabled(), does not work.
  2. keyboardType: TextInputType.visiblePassword works but it requires platform check.

TODO:

  1. Investigate what exactly triggers spellcheck in Firefox because the minimal app does not. Describe it here.
  2. File a bug in Flutter.
  3. Make a workaround, likely with TextInputType.visiblePassword.

As I checked, the reason behind spell check trigger is TextField.maxLines property. If it is set to something, even null, the FireFox will activate the spell check. As I see, there is no solution of removing some set property of the TextField.

I am going to implement the workaround first, and then send the defect to the flutter team.

Setting keyboardType: TextInputType.visiblePassword breaks the TextField -> it becomes a single line.

I am investigating to find another workaround.

The dummiest thing to do is to set autocomplete="false" with JavaScript on all textareas. This should be done in a timer every few seconds during the whole life of the app to guarantee it will not be cleared on rebuilds.
