Spellcheck and External Data Sources

My employer uses a hub and spoke system for time tracking. Staff use a local file from their workstations to record time entries, and then push that time up to the main hosted FileMaker database. These local files also download client lists and job lists from the main hosted database.

When offline, spellchecking the local file hangs for some time as it tries to connect to the hosted file. The local layout has no fields from the central database present on it. All other functions of the local file work without issue when offline. Why won't spellcheck simply check the local record I'm working on? This performance issue is not major or debilitating. It's more like a rock in the shoe that won't go away. Changing user dictionary settings does not change this behavior. This bug is present FileMaker 12-18 (and maybe earlier).

Any suggestions for spellchecking without this hang?
