Have dictionaries installed (I have English, Spanish, and German installed). The English one is the default dictionary, don't know if that matters. Breaking the spell checker: 2. Write and send a mail. 3. Compose a second mail with spelling errors in the body. Actual result: Second mail (and subsequent ones) are not checked for spelling errors. But writing a typo in the subject of the second mail got the red underline.

I thought I had fixed it in bug 880595 but it turns out that there was another code path that was triggering it that I had overlooked. What happens here is that in ComposeProcessDone we enable the editable fields. At this point I'm not sure whether we can tell whether we're about to close the window, as the caller is in nsMsgCompose.cpp, but if we do, then as part of closing the window we disable the spelling checker. Unfortunately it hasn't finished enabling itself when we enabled the editable fields, and so gets itself into an invalid state, and never manages to finish enabling itself next time.

I've been using it since 2010. I even contributed to the code and testing (bugs 207156, 547119, 250878, 309932). However, this version 24 is pretty fatal. Not picking up spelling mistakes is fatal, since you don't even notice when the spell checker stops working. So unless this is fixed, version 24, IMHO, is not worth using.

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
