Title: Thunderbird "Spell check as you type" stopped working after update to 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise-updates) Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing the 1:24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (precise-updates) update to Mozilla Thunderbird on 12.04, the "Spell check as you type" feature no longer works. Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2 (precise) restores the functionality. Steps to reproduce: * Open a new message. * Verify "Options->Spell Check As You Type" is selected * Type something like "check my spleling please" in the body of the message Expected Result: * spleling should be underlined in red and when right-clicked offer correction options Actual Result: * No words are underlined to indicate mispellings were found. Right-clicking on "spleling" shows the standard context menu. Toggling the spell check as you type option has no effect. Click the "Spelling" button, however, does lauch the spell checker and identify the mispelled word. Downgrading to 11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2 (precise) restores the check as you type functionality. ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Release: 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1229172/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
