[Bug 254223] [NEW] Spell Checker Doesn't Work Consistently

[Mike McKee]

Public bug reported:

I have Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (Hardy Heron) and am in
the USA. I have installed the 386 version instead of the AMD64 version
(my laptop is an AMD64 laptop). When I use Firefox that comes with
Ubuntu, the spell checker works inconsistently. On contractions (won't,
doesn't, etc.) it's reporting these as misspelled most of the time. On
other misspelled words it is not catching these, but only sometimes.
When I rightclick in the textarea and uncheck "Check Spelling", then
turn it back on again, it properly checks the spelling. This used to not
occur for me in my last Ubuntu that I used, which was Ubuntu 7.04 with
Firefox 2.
