Gmail seems to, by default, turn off automatic spell-checking when one is composing an email.

Here is an animated GIF showing the issue in both the Firefox and Chrome web browsers:

Chrome has a spellchecker built in: chrome://settings/languages, scroll down to advanced: Chrome spell check enabled "Check spelling" in GMail is a one off check.
