[4892] Firefox spell checker not working in the full editor

[Ray Cardillo]

This is still happening to everyone right?  If so, I hope I can clear up some confusion because this this happened on our forum and one of the members realized it was a FF spell check with the WYSIWYG feature.  However, you have to be careful to realize that when people say that... they are talking about the built in FF spell check feature (it highlights the text in the post TEXT input box)... not the SMF spell check feature.

When using FF in WYSIWYG view, you cannot right click on a misspelled word to get suggestions from FF like you normally can.  Of course, the SMF spell check feature works just fine.  In fact, if you toggle off WYSIWYG mode, then FF spell check works fine again (and the right click brings up suggestions for the word).

I believe this is happening be because there is some javascript registering for all sorts of events (such as clicks) and is consuming the event, so FF never sees the right click.  Hope this helps... because the built in FF spell check is much more convenient to those who prefer to use it.  Would love to see some attention on this bug so it can get fixed.

Yep, still happening.

that is because there has been no fix yet for this. so until then it will still be happening.

Thanks for the clarification.
