Public bug reported: I have "Spell Check As You Type" enabled. Often, after an hour or so of Thunderbird being open, the inline spell-check stops working. If I restart Thunderbird, the spell-check works again.
I'm not sure if it's important, but I'm using English (United Kingdom) for the dictionary. (I think this was installed by default from the repos.) I also manually downloaded Thunderbird (64-bit) from the Mozilla website, but this did not fix this bug..
