Chrome >= 5.0 has spell checking enabled for input widgets. Unrecognized words are underlined in red.
Please disable spell checking in Chrome for all input widgets.

There's a spellcheck attribute in HTML5:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#spelling-and-grammar-checking

Google chrome seems to support this attribute but ignores it if set from Javascript (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=25060). Would it help to render it as html (if we don't do so already)?

Fix

This fixes the issue by adding a spellcheck="false" attribute to the body tag of the rwt-index.html.
One strange thing I noticed is that Text.js sems to turn spellchecking on (!) in its constructor
