[Bug]: allowCompoundWords does not work for some cases

[chunjiw]

Kind of Issue

Runtime - command-line tools

Tool or Library

cspell

Version

8.17.1

Supporting Library

Not sure / None

OS

All of them

OS Version

Newest macOS and Linux

Description

My config is

{
    "allowCompoundWords": true
}

The test file is

curr max
currmax

result good
resultgood

The spell check result is

I'm just confused why "currmax" is considered wrong even though both "curr" and "max" are OK.

I'm aware that set "allowCompoundWords" to true is a source of many reported issues here, but for me it is the intended behavior, except sometimes it fails. This is my most recent example.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create test file as above
2. Set "allowCompoundWords" to true
3. Run cspell check <testfilename>

Expected Behavior

All words in the text above should pass spell check.

@chunjiw,

There is a limitation on the compounding: all words must be in the same dictionary.
