Subject: 26.1; flyspell highlighting for all misspelled words vanishes after
 adding a word to dictionary
Date: Sun, 6 May 2018 10:58:33 +0300

Hello, I am encountering the problem described in

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/30653/flyspells-highlight-cleared-after-a-save-word-action

to quote from there:

After running flyspell-buffer, all misspelled words are highlighted.
However, after saving a word, all of the highlighting is gone. How can
I avoid that?

this has been a problem for a while now for me, in different emacs versions.

When the personal dictionary is saved, ispell.el restarts Flyspell
mode, and that removes all the overlays used for highlighting.  This
code was a deliberate change to fix bug#11963, which see.  However,
since then, a better solution for the same scenario was already
installed, so this semi-kludgey fix is no longer needed.  I removed
that code now on the master branch, and that fixes this particular
bug.

Thanks.
