SpellCheckConfiguration == and hashCode ignore misspelledSelectionColor

Steps to reproduce

const red = SpellCheckConfiguration(misspelledSelectionColor: Color(0xFFFF0000));
const blue = SpellCheckConfiguration(misspelledSelectionColor: Color(0xFF0000FF));
print(red == blue); // true

Then rebuild an EditableText whose spellCheckConfiguration differs only in misspelledSelectionColor (same service and text style).

Expected results

red == blue is false, and EditableText uses the new misspelledSelectionColor.

Actual results

SpellCheckConfiguration.operator == and hashCode don't include misspelledSelectionColor (added in #125162), so the two configurations compare equal. EditableTextState.didUpdateWidget only re-infers _spellCheckConfiguration when oldWidget.spellCheckConfiguration != widget.spellCheckConfiguration, so it keeps using the old selection color for misspelled words.

Flutter version

master and stable 3.47.8.

@ChandraChaan

@ChandraChaan Thanks for the report. Could you share a minimal code sample or widget test that reproduces the issue, the complete steps to reproduce it, and the output of flutter doctor -v for both stable and master channels?

Thanks! Steps: flutter create --empty repro, save this as test/repro_test.dart, run flutter test.

Widget test

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

void main() {
  test('configs that differ only in misspelledSelectionColor are not equal', () {
    const red = SpellCheckConfiguration(misspelledSelectionColor: Color(0xFFFF0000));
    const blue = SpellCheckConfiguration(misspelledSelectionColor: Color(0xFF0000FF));

    expect(red == blue, isFalse);
  });

  testWidgets('EditableText uses the new misspelledSelectionColor after a rebuild', (
    WidgetTester tester,
  ) async {
    final controller = TextEditingController(text: 'Helo wrld');
    addTearDown(controller.dispose);
    final focusNode = FocusNode();
    addTearDown(focusNode.dispose);
    final spellCheckService = DefaultSpellCheckService();

    Widget build(Color misspelledSelectionColor) {
      return Directionality(
        textDirection: TextDirection.ltr,
        child: MediaQuery(
          data: const MediaQueryData(),
          child: EditableText(
            controller: controller,
            focusNode: focusNode,
            style: const TextStyle(),
            cursorColor: const Color(0xFF000000),
            backgroundCursorColor: const Color(0xFF808080),
            spellCheckConfiguration: SpellCheckConfiguration(
              spellCheckService: spellCheckService,
              misspelledTextStyle: const TextStyle(
                decoration: TextDecoration.underline,
                decorationColor: Color(0xFFFF0000),
              ),
              misspelledSelectionColor: misspelledSelectionColor,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      );
    }

    await tester.pumpWidget(build(const Color(0xFFFF0000)));
    await tester.pumpWidget(build(const Color(0xFF0000FF)));

    final EditableTextState state = tester.state<EditableTextState>(find.byType(EditableText));
    expect(state.spellCheckConfiguration.misspelledSelectionColor, const Color(0xFF0000FF));
  });
}

Expected: both tests pass.

Actual: both fail on stable 3.47.8 and on master (7ebd815). red == blue is true, and EditableText keeps the old red colour after the rebuild. Both pass with #195404.

@ChandraChaan

Thanks for the report @ChandraChaan, this seems like a valid issue and we would definitely welcome a PR for it.

@Renzo-Olivares

Thanks @Renzo-Olivares! The PR is already up: #195404 adds misspelledSelectionColor to == and hashCode, with a unit test for the equality and a widget test that rebuilds EditableText with a new color (both tests from the repro above). It's ready for review whenever you or someone on text input has a moment.
