Bug: Monero view only wallet doesn't see spends? #1292

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Not sure if this is a limitation of the network or what, if so, should probably let us input spend keys also. (and make it not view only)

When creating a monero wallet from view key/address it doesn't see that amounts received have already been spent

Expected Behavior

shouldn't it also see spends? if not, why can we not import spend priv keys also and have it not be view only?

Reproduce Steps

import a view only priv key for a monero wallet that has received and then sent monero, and then sync it

Environment

• Operating system and version: linux
• Device platform and version: 2.4.4
• Real device or emulator/simulator: real
