Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Spell check does not work with \cite{}

[Nabla94]

Hi,

I use Texmaker and would like to have my text spell checked.
If I enter the following text, the mistake is correctly recognized:

This sentence contains a misstake

Even when continuing with a citation, Texmaker still recognizes it:

This sentence contains a misstake \cite{bib

But upon closing the citation bracket, the red underlining disappears!?

This sentence contains a misstake \cite{bib}

I don't have this problem with \ref, \citep or any other command.
The \cite command disturbs the whole paragraph before, not just one sentence, and not the part after it.
The paragraph before is fine, if it does not contain a \cite...

This is really dangerous, since mistakes are not recognized.

Hope you can help me,
I would like to have my thesis checked

Cheers,
Clemens

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... as-a-label seems to be similar for \label

This seems to happen for any command ending in "cite"; includes \cite, \nocite \footcite, \mycite, \overcite, and it happens for any word in the sentence.

You can get around this problem by putting all your \cite commands on a line by themselves, with the previous line ending with [cmd]~%[/cmd]. Example:

Code: Select all

Thiss lline ccontaiins missspelled woords~\cite{someone}

will look the same in print as

Code: Select all

Thiss lline ccontaiins missspelled woords~%
\cite{someone}

but the second form will fake out TeXmaker into not assuming everything on a line with \...cite{.*} in it.
