[Bug 1026869] Re: Firefox accepts dictionaries and spell check entries from every which spell check backend, leaving problems with defaults and the language selector enables this behavior

[Reuben Thomas]

In fact, the situation appears to be more complicated, and points to a
race condition of some sort.

Having fixed the problem, I thought I'd try a theory about what causes
it. So, I removed the dictionary and restarted Firefox. However, my
spelling language was still correctly set to en-GB.

Further, I can no longer reproduce the problem in a fresh profile, which
of course does not have the dictionary installed.

I should stress that the only thing I changed in any of this was my
Firefox profile; I did not add, remove or otherwise alter any Ubuntu
package.

Hence, I really can't see what could have fixed the problem (since it
has gone from being reproducible with a fresh profile to not being
reproducible with a fresh profile), and I wonder whether there may be a
race condition; not least, because the code that scans for dictionaries
runs asynchronously.
