Fixes #185843

When EditableText has obscureText: true, spell check should not run or keep previous spell-check results. This makes the inferred spell-check configuration disabled for obscured text, recomputes that configuration when obscureText changes, refreshes spell check when obscured text becomes visible again, and ignores async spell-check responses that return after spell check has been disabled.

Tests:

  • ../../bin/flutter test test/widgets/editable_text_test.dart --plain-name='Spell check'
  • ../../bin/flutter analyze --no-pub lib/src/widgets/editable_text.dart test/widgets/editable_text_test.dart
  • git diff --check

Code Review

This pull request disables spell check in EditableText when obscureText is true by updating the spell check configuration inference and clearing results during widget updates. Feedback suggests triggering a spell check when the feature is re-enabled to ensure the UI remains in sync and removing a redundant check in the suggestion fetching logic to improve code readability.

LGTM with a nit 👍 . It makes sense to me that we should never do spell check on obscured text. Thanks!

Fixes flutter#185843

When `EditableText` has `obscureText: true`, spell check should not run
or keep previous spell-check results. This makes the inferred
spell-check configuration disabled for obscured text, recomputes that
configuration when `obscureText` changes, refreshes spell check when
obscured text becomes visible again, and ignores async spell-check
responses that return after spell check has been disabled.

Tests:
- `../../bin/flutter test test/widgets/editable_text_test.dart
--plain-name='Spell check'`
- `../../bin/flutter analyze --no-pub lib/src/widgets/editable_text.dart

- `git diff --check`
