Hi Ports,
This might be old information but I have just noticed that spell checking is
working again in Firefox 29.0 and Thunderbird 24.5.0
Yes, i finally found time to dig into it, and it got commited with 29.0.
Not everything is properly fixed (the root issue is not, see
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/991278), but at least this way it works.
After upgrading to OBSD 5.5 my spell checker also quit working with
Seamonkey 2.23, the release package. I've been trying to live without it
until November, but I just can't. My spelling isn't 100% and I use email
for professional business communications.

Well, the interesting part is having mozilla-dicts-$YOURLANG installed
for proper spellcheck in your language :) not the i18n ui strings..

Should spellcheck work in Seamonkey Mail with my 5.5 release packages?
I'm in "US" and not "GB". The "en-GB" dict was installed automatically,
but there doesn't seem to be a US version. I also tried installing the
mozilla-dicts-en-CA-1.3p0 package but that didn't work.
I'm not sure how to select/configure the dictionary language. Do I need
to set an environment variable or a config in Seamonkey?
The dictionary in "Preferences > Appearance > Spelling > Language" is
"English/United States". It is my only choice in the drop down menu.
I've also tried downloading other dictionaries as an "add-on" but that
didn't work either.
I am tempted to download the packages tree and remake the package.
However, I'm hesitant to proceed because of this:

If somone can point me in the right direction to get my spell checker
working, I would greatly appreciate your help.

P.S. this email may contain spelling errors! ;-)
