--- Comment #2 from Ken C <kconem...@gmail.com> --- Response to Michael Warner 2021-10-20 13:02:05 UTC I used https:///www.mozilla.org and no URL link is recognized or created, but anything resembling a URL has the same result. I should clarify ... (1) typing in a URL does not create a link automatically, but (2) when I cut the URL you gave me (from a browser) & paste in then the linkification does work. And, (3) if I cut the URL from email (in my case Thunderbird) & paste the linkification does not work. I noticed that an underlying problem may lie in the spell check module(s). Typing in text is never flagged as a spelling error, eg: eror or rabbish. Spell check does not identify any spelling errors either automatically as typed or when manually checked. I'm working on default US language settings. I have these relevant options : Tools | Automatic Spell Checking is checked on Tools | Options | Language Settings | Languages | Language Of User Interface: Default - English (USA) Tools | Options | Language Settings | Languages | Default Languages for Documents Western: Default - English (USA) Tools | Options | Language Settings | Writing Aids | Available Language Modules: Hunspell SpellChecker is checked on Tools | Options | Language Settings | Writing Aids | User-Defined Dictionaries: standard; en-GB; en-US all switched on -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
