Spellcheck in XD not wanted

I would like to turn off the new spellcheck/autocorrect feature in XD but don't see an easy way to do so. We use an icon font set for adding icons to our designs and since I have updated to the latest version, XD is autocorrecting my entries - for example, one of the icons has a character mapping of "n" but XD corrects it to "N" because it thinks I am starting a sentence and wants to capitalize it. This also assumes that I always want to start typing with a capital letter no matter what the situation. There is one other issue that I find annoying, and that is that XD adds a period (.) if I add more than two spaces between words. This has been happening for a while, not just in the new version. Even Word or other word processing programs don't assume that I have just ended a sentence. This is totally unnecessary and adds no value, because I then have to manually go back and remove the period from the line of text, and then it keeps happening and I don't have a way to stop it the next time. If anyone knows how to configure XD to stop these annoying "features" please let me know.

thanks.

On Mac just uncheck Spelling and Grammar from the edit menu.

On Windows there should be a similar menu item in the top level menu of the app.

Menus on the top level of an app in Windows doesn't apply to UWP apps like XD. There is a turn off spellcheck option in the 'hamburger' menu:

This solution didn't seem to help with the insertion of a period (.) when you add more than one space. Any ideas on how to turn that off?

Thanks!

Just noting that you need to restart XD for it to take effect

If this does not answer your question, or you want spellchecking just without the auto-correct, you can go to system settings -> keyboard -> Text and uncheck auto-correct & first letter capitalization (Mac) or Settings -> Search spelling -> uncheck Auto-correct (Windows)

This actually helped me, thanks for pointing that out! I didn't know it was a dreadful Windows feature.
