Spellcheck is automatically turned on for text boxes, but can't be dismissed

When adding a text box to a report, spellcheck automatically analyzes the contents and highlights words not in it's dictionary with the familiar red squiggle. There is no way to dismiss this squiggle, meaning that the highlighting is always present. There is no way to disable spellcheck via options either.

Believe it or not, but some PBI users are actually not US citizens, and need to write text boxes in other languages than english! (thus making the spellchecker going berserk) Can we get a fix here please!

I do want to mention one thing that can help a little (temporarily, if you need to make a screenshot or something). When you change the size of a text box through the properties (height/width) the spell check disappears. So if you really can't stand those red lines on a large text box while editing, just change the size +1, and back after the last edit.
