Minimal init.lua

vim.cmd [[set runtimepath=$VIMRUNTIME]]
vim.cmd [[set packpath=/tmp/nvim/site]]

local package_root = '/tmp/nvim/site/pack'
local install_path = package_root .. '/packer/start/packer.nvim'

local function load_plugins()
  require('packer').startup {
    {
      'wbthomason/packer.nvim',
      {'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter', run = ':TSUpdate'},
      {'kristijanhusak/orgmode.nvim', branch = 'master' },
    },
    config = {
      package_root = package_root,
      compile_path = install_path .. '/plugin/packer_compiled.lua',
    },
  }
end

_G.load_config = function()
  local parser_config = require('nvim-treesitter.parsers').get_parser_configs()

  parser_config.org = {
    install_info = {
      url = 'https://github.com/milisims/tree-sitter-org',
      revision = 'main',
      files = {'src/parser.c', 'src/scanner.cc'},
    },
    filetype = 'org',
  }
  vim.cmd[[packadd nvim-treesitter]]
  vim.cmd[[TSUpdate]]

  require('orgmode').setup()
  require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup({
  -- If TS highlights are not enabled at all, or disabled via `disable` prop, highlighting will fallback to default Vim syntax highlighting
  highlight = {
    enable = true,
    disable = {'org'}, -- Remove this to use TS highlighter for some of the highlights (Experimental)
    additional_vim_regex_highlighting = {'org'}, -- Required since TS highlighter doesn't support all syntax features (conceal)
  },
  ensure_installed = {'org'}, -- Or run :TSUpdate org

  })

end

if vim.fn.isdirectory(install_path) == 0 then
  vim.fn.system { 'git', 'clone', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path }
  load_plugins()
  require('packer').sync()
  vim.cmd [[autocmd User PackerComplete ++once lua load_config()]]
else
  load_plugins()
  require('packer').sync()
  _G.load_config()
end

Additional context

This bug can be fixed by adding @Spell to line 69 of orgmode/syntax/org_legacy.vim :

syntax match org_list_item /.*$/ contained contains=org_bold,org_italic,org_underline,org_code,org_verbatim,org_strike,@Spell

However, I am wondering if problem might not affect other syntax items. My thought was that line 68 of orgmode/syntax/org.vim would have set spelling check in the whole file by default.

A possibly related case: using the same configuration. Links are not highlighted within list items either.

[kristijanhusak]

Should be fixed now (I did what you suggested). syntax spell toplevel works only on things that are not matched with syntax match. List item is matched, that's why it didn't work.
